Hi all,

This is sort of a n00bie question, but something I haven't really had
to mess around with.  I recently did an `emerge world` and after the
update and a reboot, my root prompt has changed back to the gentoo
default.  It now seems that the /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile are
overriding my root's .bashrc and .profile.  In addition to the root
prompt being changed, it seems that the PATH environment variable
isn't complete.  _Some_ utilities that are part of the gentoolkit (but
not all) aren't found in the path (qpkg, equery, etc.).  So what do I
need to do to set things right, so my local setting override the
global?  Or is there a reason for this, and I should just modify the
global, since it has if/else's for root?

TIA

I have found the best way to deal with this is to add this snippet to the end 
of /etc/profile:

if [ -e ~/.bashrc]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

The problem is that you need to add it again when you upgrade baselayout...
