howdy,
I got afterstep to load, but it won't run a few set up commands and I figure I just need to add to my PATH variable. But everything I've tried doesn't work. I edited /etc/X11/xim, I added .bash_profile, and edited .profile but nothing changes. Where does SuSE set the PATH variable, and how can I add to it before the window manager runs?
I also checked in the User Guide and Admin Guide, but it doesn't say.
I've started beating on 2.6.3, but all I get is a black screen so far.... Talk about flying blind! Any hints appreciated on that too.
Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
Looks like /etc/profile and then /etc/profile.local. I think ~/.bash_profile also works, though -- I added this: # set PATH so it includes /sbin if it exists if [ -d /sbin ] ; then PATH=/sbin:"${PATH}" fi Exit bash and log back in to activate. Works on my end. And maybe ~/.profile will work? Cheers, David
