I've read before that > this is the 'proper' way to put env stuff etc. i could be wrong, as i've heavily customized these scripts, but i believe by default the only thing .bashrc does (in arch) is source .bash_aliases if it exists; so put aliases there. take a look at: /etc/profile* /etc/bash* ~/.profile ~/.bash* they contain everything you need to know. for example, you can create an /etc/bash.bashrc.local that will be sourced if it exists. i use this to add gentoo style colors and prompts, export stuff, and increase the bash_history from 1,000 to 10,000 (i hate retyping stuff :-) C Anthony
