Tip 1. The scroll keys < > up down are VERY useful! (eg, the dpad keys)
Tip 2. There seems to be some confusion about setting up a .profile. So here's what I did. No flashing or root login required! Some knowledge of UNIX scripting would help though.
cd
- prompt changes to "~ $ " You are now in /home/user pwd should confirm this.
- create a plain text file called .profile Mine simply contains the following line of text:
export ENV=$HOME/.shrc
- create another plain text file called .shrc. Mine looks like this:
PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/install/usr/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib
alias la='ls -a'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias ssh='dbclient'
cd $HOME
- You could create the files using vim or joe, or even copy them from the memory card having created them on a PC using the USB cable to access the card. Copy from /media/mmc1 (do an ls first, and then cp to copy). You'll need to disconnect from the PC before you can copy. N.B. I used vim - the other method might not work. In particular Windows editors use CR-LF end of lines in text files, so the 770 might not like them.
- exit xterm and reboot your 770. This is the magic trick needed to read your .profile as it is ONLY read when rebooted. To reboot, power off and then hold the home key (the one with the picture of a house) while you switch power back on.
Why the .shrc file? So you don't have to reboot every time you edit it. This file IS read each time xterm starts.
