I've been trying to be good and learn by myself with asking too many
newbie questions, but I'm finally confused.
System: Slackware 3.1.0 Linux 2.0.27
running very basic system on an older 386 laptop, 4 meg ram, 60 meg h/d
with 9.5 meg swap
The book I've been reading, along with other info talks about such files
as .profile, .login, .bash_profile, and .bashrc. It also mentions
finding these files in my home directory. Well, no amount of ls -a finds
any of those files. What I do find is:
.bash_history
.less
.lessrc
Questions: Are some of these files setup when I install a fuller system?
Or are these files something I need to set up myself?
Also, if I delete the .bash_history file when it gets too big, does bash
create a new one?
Thanks for any help,
Dave
