Subject: /etc/profile on Debian Linux
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello Ian,
I just started to recompile the bash package for my all ELF system.
That was when i discovered that the /etc/profile provided by Debian
is somewhat inappropriate: Novice users wil have no idea how to write
a proper profile for their system.
This never occured to me since our Debian systems at the Computing
Center share a common profile with our other Unix systems.
So i thought it to be a good idea to donate the /etc/profile from
my home system to the Debian project. I added some Debian specific
PATH options, that is all i needed to change.
As you can see from the copyright, this profile has been used quite
a while...
I hope you find it useful and incorporate it into the bash-package ...
Yours,
Dominik
PS. It seems that the effort of porting Debian to m68k-linux has stalled:
I haven't heard anything of the people interested in the port for a
while. And since our TT has broken down, i am left without a possibility
to do it on my own. As for the alpha-linux port: The AlphaPC's are
starting to arrive one-by-one. As soon as i can grab one, i will start
to work on this port. But for now i am to busy with my courses at
University ...
