Debian doesn't put .bash_profile in for root. I want to put one in to extend root's path. Putting my own .bash_profile means putting in the path in full, since bash doesn't do roots path if there's a bash_profile. Is there anything else that would be missed out if I were to put in a .bash_profile? -- Bruce The good news is that in 1995 we will have a good operating system and programming language; the bad news is that they will be Unix and C++. -- Richard P.
