[nslu2-linux] Re: Can't set alias in .profile

 

Which version do you have?
I have V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta with buybox 0.60.4 and alias works:
# cat root/.profile
export TERM=ansi
export PATH="/opt/bin:$PATH"
alias a=alias
# a
alias a='alias'
#

Have you additional shells installed?

Regards, Roland
