In case some other poor soul googles and finds this, I figured it out. For my alias file, it simply looks like this: Gentoo-1 ~ # cat /etc/bash/bashrc.d/16-alias.bash alias ls='ls --color=auto -al' alias grep='grep --colour=auto -i' alias yt='yt-dlp' alias egrep='egrep --colour=auto' alias fgrep='fgrep --colour=auto' alias dfc='dfc -d' Gentoo-1 ~ # After running source /etc/profile, the aliases looks like this: Gentoo-1 ~ # alias alias dfc='dfc -d' alias diff='diff --color=auto' alias dir='dir --color=auto' alias egrep='egrep --colour=auto' alias fgrep='fgrep --colour=auto' alias grep='grep --colour=auto -i' alias ls='ls --color=auto -al' alias vdir='vdir --color=auto' alias yt='yt-dlp' Gentoo-1 ~ # Hope this helps someone else. As I mentioned above, this kinda works better. :-D Dale :-) :-) P. S. Booted into new install. I'm in the process of emerging all the packages in the world file. It's a healthy list. Gonna take a while. I also found out that htop can now show temp sensors. I wish I could figure out how to tell htop to move where it puts the temp info tho. I don't like where it is. It's in with the CPU bar meters. It also shows CPU frequency as a option.
