/etc/profile .bash_profile .bashrc /etc/bashrc However, I saw nothing when starting X. So I redirected the output to a file. Prior to starting X I see the above. I then nuked the output file and started X but nothing wrote to the file. I attempted the same with BLFS 7.4 and my output after starting X is: .bashrc /etc/bashrc Yes, 'type source' produces "source is a shell builtin" from my BLFS 7.5 command prompt and xterm window. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
