Hi all, please advise as I can't find bashrc file in Tiny Core Linux.

root@box:/# find / -name bash
root@box:/#

I'm using ~/.ashrc.

Did you load the bash extension?

I'm using ~/.ashrc.

I would appreciate if you could share how to use this?
I can't even find it in my TC

root@box:~# find / -name ashrc
root@box:~#

Thanks for your advise. May I know how to load the bash extension?

Please read documentation and spend time with wiki, particularly about basics like persistence, extensions and basic configuration, and also explore all included system tools to get more familiar with the environment.

Hi Adam
The files you seek are hidden. Try:

Code: [Select]

ls -la ~/.*rcThe filenames begin with a period which makes them hidden files.

Thanks again Rich, but there is No such file or directory

Code: [Select]

root@box:~# ls -la ~/.*rc
ls: /root/.*rc: No such file or directory
root@box:~#
Update:
Sorry  I was looking at the wrong directory

Code: [Select]

root@box:~# find / -name .*ashrc
/home/tc/.ashrc
/etc/skel/.ashrc
root@box:~#

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ pwd
/home/tc
tc@box:~$ ls -la ~/.*rc
-rw-r--r--    1 tc       staff          476 Aug 12 08:53 /home/tc/.ashrc
tc@box:~$

Using "~/" as root is ambiguous.

I suggest using a file manager to get familiar with the system.

I’ve just found something new. By default, alias is working with tc id whiles doesn’t with root id. Please let me know how to load these alias setting in root as well.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ alias
ls='ls -p'
cp='cp -i'
c='clear'
df='df -h'
reboot='sudo reboot'
rm='rm -i'
mv='mv -i'
la='ls -la'
du='du -h'
d='dmenu_run &'
ce='cd /etc/sysconfig/tcedir'
i='ifconfig | grep dd'
ll='ls -l'
tc@box:~$

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo su
root@box:~# alias
root@box:~#

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ls -la

I’ve also found that there is no .ashrc file in root. Should I create one to fix this issue?
