Re: Lost file

	You can only edit /etc/profile as root. And there is only one /etc/profile. Even if I had been logged in as someone else, there wouldn't be another /etc/profile for me to copy from.
	I've been too busy with some work and still didn't get a chance to boot into Linux and try to fix it.

>were you logged in as root or a user???  If you were logged in as a user, log in as root, recreate the file, and give your userID permissions to the file. If you were logged in as root you may have problems.
