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

 

I'm running V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.10-beta and BusyBox v1.3.1

I don't have additional shells I don't think. Can you tell me where alias is for you? Is it in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin? ....and is it a symbolic link to slingbox?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
JK
