Hi,

I need some help in configuring my PowerBook.  I installed Tiger 10.4.2
and upgraded it to 10.4.6.  I don't know where the system looks for
startup profiles.  It does not seem to execute /etc/profile or
.bash_profile as well as .profile.  Thanks.

Read "man bash", section "INVOCATION". The (complicated) order of startup files is described there, and OSX bash runs them in that order. You will have to look inside those files, too, to see what they are doing, because they can call other files, for example /etc/profile usually calls /etc/bashrc.
