Hi Wolfgang,
Create a /etc directory and put the profile file there.
Create an environment variable HOME to point to where ever you desire;
use the forward slash "/" for the directory delimiter. The history
file will by default be stored there. You will want to create a
.bashrc file in the HOME directory also for your aliases and do a
"source ~/.bashrc" in the profile file.
To start bash you will want to use the --login switch, this is what
tells bash to use the /etc/profile file.
Read the bash.info file. Be sure to read the "IMPORTANT UPGRADE
NOTICE" at the end of this note.
