Couple of small problems.
Firstly could someone tell me how to add a location to my path every time that I boot. I need to know which configuration file buried somewhere in /etc I presume and what I need to add to it. Like adding a statement to the autoexec.bat file in dos (sorry I know it's a taboo word).
I think file holding the path variable is /etc/profile but I'm unsure how to add to it. The file has the line PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin" is this my path or an addition to it? In dos each location in the path is separated by semicolons i.e.
path=c:;c:\dos;c:\windows;c:\windows\system ... etc.
How do I do this in Linux?
Secondly I want to create a launcher icon on the panel in Gnome to launch StarOffice, this launches from a script which can be achieved in a terminal window by ./<nameofscript>. What do I need for the properties of the launcher, like how do I specify a path for the script? I tried just entering the path of the script in but it doesn't work although double clicking the script in Gnome File Manager works a treat.
Cheers,
BJ
