unfortunately, couldn't install MS Outlook Express.


Now my question:


If by any chance you add an echo to your .bashrc like this:
echo "inside .bashrc"
and other in .bash_profile,
echo "inside .bash_profile"
you will get the echo from .bashrc, but never the one from .bash_profile. OK, following someone's comment from the UNABLE TO UPDATE THE PATH VARIABLE I copied .bash_profile into .bashrc 'cause one is executed when login in and the other every time a term is open. Well, you will get a nice crash in your account not being unable lo loggin in anymore. Does anybody understand why this happen? Besides, does anybody know a good place to learn the insides of the bash shell?

man bash is a good place to start. Then there are references on the web and books. If you copied *all* of .bash_profile into .bashrc, you are probably getting a recursion problem, because the default .bash_profile includes .bashrc.



Thanks,


Rosario
