Editing the PATH variable in shell - does it work?
(to be complete...using "echo $PATH" at the N800 X terminal I get... "/usr/bin:/bin")
While... using "echo $PATH" at the chroot Debian terminal I get a much longer list of variable. However, if I go and look at these files:
/etc/environment (which was originally as 100% empty)
/etc/profile
/etc/bashrc
/root/.profile
/root/.bashrc
None reflects the exact same paths that I saw at "echo $PATH" at chroot terminal... and even if the final path was a combination of all, some paths seen would be still missing and coming from somewhere else.
Honestly, I edited /etc/environment and /etc/profile with my paths and none seams to work.
For me the environment paths (at Easy Debian) must are stored somewhere else. Any ideas?

Any idea why this different behavior between the two?
On Easy Debian I have enlarged the / partition... I removed Openoffice... and compiled some apps from source code.
However I've tried find a solution to set the path to this compiled binaries and this seams to be beyond my knowledge...
In details... I have installed/compiled some apps at /usr/local (as root) using Easy Debian (on a N800) and initially I thought that was easy to set the path to executables setting this in /etc/environment.
However, this way is not working for me. Is different on Easy Debian to set the path to binaries??
I will really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Christian
