Heya,
I'd like to know how to get my /etc/profile loaded when I start kdm. Right now it's not loaded when i start kdm, but it is loaded if I start xdm, but since I don't really like xdm (icky login window, that you prolly can change, and it's a hazzle to change between WMs) I'd like to fix it with kdm instead.
Have been talking some about this with rac in this topic (X starts REAL slow).

Make sure you source /etc/profile in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile

Sorry for being a bit newbish here, but to source it, does that mean I should add just '/etc/profile' in those files, or is there like some import command I should use before it? e.g. 'source /etc/profile' ?
Thanks for helpin me out

you add a line:
| Code: | | source /etc/profile |
or
Notice the dot at the begining of the 2nd example, it is the same as the source directive.
