Hi, Oki & Asamu thanks for your positive responses. I put the flwg line at the and of ~/.bash_profile: if [-f ~/.bashrc]; then . ~/.bashrc;fi This solves the problem.
/etc/skel/.bash_profile contains the original ~/.bash_profile before it was edited, in my case before new paths were added. ~/.profile does not need to be created. Perhaps I was a bit confused with the profile's file structure of Suse I recently got rid of. I believe ~/.profile never exists within debian woody. And it does not need to be (re-)created. Please correct me if this view is wrong.
