Dear All
I would like to update my path environmental variable. I think this =
should be in a file called /etc/profile , the header in this file says =
not to edit this file because SuSe will overwrite it on upgrade but to =
edit /etc/profile.local instead. Unfortunately this file does not exist. =
My questions are:
(1) Should I create it; and
(2) Does it require a reboot for the O/S to recognise it.
Thanks
Andre
