Shell path issues?

[user]

So I installed openSUSE 11 and I have been having an odd problem. It seems that the installer doesn’t set my shell path environment variable properly, so I only have access to /bin without giving absolute paths. This has happened three times on two different computers, but I’m convinced that this can’t be the default behavior.

Is there some quick(er) fix? If not, what should I include other than /sbin in my path?

Thanks.

Hi
What shell are you using? What is the output from echo $PATH?

if you use bash you can edit your .bashrc

then add something like this:

export PATH=“your_stuff:$PATH”
