I don't understand why you say "don't overwrite". How can I save made change if I don't overvrite the file? You mean I can make a new file like profile.my?

I think he means keep the info that is in .profile and append this without destroying the info already there.

alias t='/usr/bin/osso-xterm ""'

the end is " " ' with no spaces tho
save it in .profile and root/.profile
don't overwrite root/.profile tho, use vi or leafpad to edit it
Even better would be to install bash3 and then run bash-setup. Which is a will you a "normal" linux shell. Then edit the "/root/.bashrc" and "/user/.bashrc" files for alias. One of the best thing though is that it got a lot more history and the ctrl+r to search in history.

Installing bash wouldnŽt make you loose any changes you may have made to your xterm. just use apt-get to install and youŽll have just another shell next to your xterm. There have been some threads on the maemo4 pat of this forum, about setting up bash as your default shell but I am not sure how safe that is on maemo5 for AFAIK the bootup procedure looks for xterm at some tty levels. If you want to change your default shell youŽll probably need to look at some bootscripts too.

By changing in /etc/passwd you can choose your default shell. But it is easier to just use bash-setup after install to set it up. Then edit bashrc with aliases and PS1. No problems at all.

If you want to use ash or sh.. just begin the command with it. Like "sh ls /path/" would be using the sh-shell.
