hello everyone. hope you don't mind more newbie questions. :) how do you make export PATH={...something here...} global (that is for all users)? (eq. export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin) i've read somewhere that you have to add it to /etc/profile. but i don't really know how to. help! -Myk __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
