Patrick

the /etc/rc is an init script and has no bearing whatsoever on the environment of other processes which are not its children
if you want to configure your shell environment, then please read the documentation:
docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=uclinux-dist:shell

Hi,
sorry but i dont understand the documentation....
This is my inittab:
# inittab for uClinux
# Format:
# ttyline:termcap-entry:getty-command
#inet:ttyS0:/bin/inetd
#httpd:unknown:/bin/httpd
#sh:unknown:/bin/sh
#ttyS0::respawn:-/bin/sh
#sh:console:respawn:/bin/sh
#console::askfirst:-/bin/sh
In config i have enabled "enable console shell"
If i write for example "TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0" in inittab there is no result....
Could you be so kind and give me an example?
Patrick

I think Mike means:
set the environment in "/etc/profile" or "$HOME/.profile"

nowhere does the documentation tell you to try and put env settings into the inittab. it does however tell you to use the proifle files.
