I know I've been spending too much time on the computer when I try to spell "goto hell" without a space in "goto". But that one makes a lot less sense in the GNU/Linux Realm than it did when I was into Win and DOS and used BASIC/VB and such. >I have this but with PATH="$PATH:/usr/etc....." >Should I remove the "$"? No. The dollar sign needs to be there, I'm pretty sure, if you want PATH to be recognized as a shell variable. Otherwise you will seriously screw things up because bash will think that PATH is a directory and the settings for PATH in /etc/profile will not apply to that user. Unless this is what you want to happen. I think he meant for the $ to be there but the point he was trying to make was that you had to 'export PATH="blablabla"' rather than just 'PATH="blablabla"'. This is a bit off topic for this thread, but I'm looking for the cheapest Celeron machine I can find online. I saw the bit about thelinuxstore.com's PIA for $199 in Linux magazine, October I believe, but on the site they have it for $349 with no floppy or CD-ROM drive. I need to be able to install the drives from my old machine but the PIA has a wierd-ass casing that I don't think has room to accommodate addition of internal floppy/CD-ROM drives the way a normal i386 computer would. My current Debian box is tanked due to /*extreme*/ hardware failures. The motherboard is so shot it isn't even funny, the power source is having problems too, and I don't have the manual for the machine so I don't even know the specs. -----Fish "If only somebody had once told us that Gazpacho soup is served cold, I could've been an admiral by now!" -Red Dwarf "Und wir kamm zuerst, und wir gehen auch zuletzt." -Die Fantastischen Vier, Buenas Dias Messias __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
