Glad you got it working.

Well quit messing about with those other unworthy distros and just use Debian. You'll not be sorry.

BINGO !!! etc/profile does it ,,,after a reboot... the new additions work and
now appear with alias -p. You gurus continue to amaze me with your knowledge/experience but I hope you understand the wide variations from one distro to the other constantly drive us novices NUTS !!!

Thanks

Heh, I'm at least faaaaar from being a guru
BTW, if you want to have aliases for one user only you can create a file named .profile in the users home directory and add them there.

Well quit messing about with those other unworthy distros and just use Debian. Wink You'll not be sorry.

I agree. Besides, distrohopping is nice but not very productive.
