Thanks, but I already know I am loading my own environment.... I will give an example of what's happening for me: # yum update (for example) blah blah blah Now, after a while, I want to recheck the repositories, so I enter yu # yu and hit PrevPage, expecting to have the 'yum update' I entered before... but bash navigates to I-am-not-sure-where. Under SuSE I was used to get it.
