Yes thanks Lonnie and yes I was aware that I would need to add it with each build (yuk). I think I might take option 1).

The better way is to create a ~/.bashrc file (look how it is called in /etc/profile) . Of course you need the ~/.bashrc file to be persistent across reboots, that can be done by either: 1) create the directory "/mnt/kd/root" and then /root will be automatically symlinked to /mnt/kd/root at startup. 2) In a startup script, (ex. /mnt/kd/rc.local) copy a persistent file from /mnt/kd/ to /root/.bashrc . Then in the .bashrc file would include: -- export PATH="$PATH:/mnt/kd/scripts" -- I assume you are doing all this so a CLI user can type a command without the full path name ?
