I thought the proper place to define aliases was in /etc/profile.d/ profile_aliases.sh. That's where I have mine, anyway. PS1 is set in /etc/bash/bashrc.d/10-gentoo-color.bash, as you say. I change the prompt colours in there, in the case of the little rescue system I have on each machine. That's so that I can see which system I'm logged-on to (I maintain the rescue system by chrooting into it from the main system, and it's far too easy to make mistakes without that precaution). -- Regards, Peter.
