If you stick something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] libxslt-1.0.27-1]$ cat ~/.rc/aliases # ~/.rc/aliases: Shell Aliases # # This file contains Bash shell aliases for programs # and scripts. # Directory listings alias ls='/bin/ls --color=tty' alias la='/bin/ls -a --color=tty' alias ll='/bin/ls -l --color=tty' alias lal='/bin/ls -al --color=tty' [...] this in your `~/.bash_profile' file (or add them globaly in a script in `/etc/profile.d') you'll have you ls aliases. I don't know what h is an alias for, though. `head' perhaps? Anyhow, that should be enough to get you your aliases. IIRC, your shell (bash) will have to be a login shell for `~/.bash_profile' to be sourced.
