[newbie] .bashrc and .bash_profile translation, please
not being unable lo loggin in anymore. I'm not sure what you mean here, but I would imagine that there is something in the .bash_profile which is incompatible in .bashrc. as you noted, .bashrc is run when you log in, if there is something generating an error, you may not be able to login. is there some way you could post your current .bashrc?

[newbie] I'M A COMPLETE IDIOT - SHOT ME!
Just following instructions: http://thor.prohosting.com/~kilgoret/mandrake/ 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? Thanks, Rosario Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I assumed that all the stuff needed for update should be on the server. I tried it again a few weeks later and than I got the message that the server has no files at all for Mandrake 9.1. Did you experience similar problems? Any hints? You need to update the sources - so in the Mandrake Control Center, go to Software Management = Software Sources Manager = Update - and you can update the sources; that way, when you actually try to update the system, you're getting the proper listing. You should do this every so often as the update lists change... I ghot the same problem, but in Add a source there's relative path to synthesis/hdlist, what is this?Could you give me a couple nice URL with their synthesis/hdlist whatever this is?

Thanks to some clues from newbiers I got the following conclussions: 1) There is no need to logout to have updated the bash env vars. Just type bash from a terminal. 2) One must update PATH var in .bashrc file NOT in .bash_profile. By the way, does anybody know what is .bash_profile for?
