In my /etc/profile just before the line 'export PATH' I have: [code:1] for FILE in /opt/*; do if [ -d ${FILE} ]; then if [ -d ${FILE}/bin ]; then PATH="${PATH}:$FILE/bin" else PATH="${PATH}:$FILE" fi fi done [/code:1] You now need to add '/etc/profile' to your '~/.filetool.lst' if you are running frugal or live. Also make sure you have a backup setup properly... Unfortunately sudo still reverts to the default PATH. Does anyone know how to fix that ?
