Clayne, I also noticed that /etc/profile does not work in recent Moblin releases. Instead I added my settings to /etc/bashrc, this works fine for me and should hopefully work for you.

I've tried /etc/profile and /etc/rc.local, but neither works. What is the recommended location for this so that run level 5 apps can access $MY_VAR: export MY_VAR=my_val Thanks.
