Ok...

I'm really trying . I just spent literally 3 hours reading howtos and guides on PATH and .bash_profile, /etc/profile and other stuff. I've tentatively concluded that OS2008 does not use bash, it uses something called ash?!?

I'm now more confused than ever. I can temporarily extend root's PATH to include the path to nmap. But, I don't know where ~/.bash_profile is, or even if that will work on my n810. I've looked in the wiki and searched the forum.

The frustrating thing iss that the n810 is just different enough from the linux in the LDP guides that things don't always work.

So, humbly asked from lowest to highest, how does one permanently modify root's PATH?
