OT - Minicom Send files/Upload option problem

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

in the INSTALL file, it states to do the following,

2.  Set some environment variables in the file .profile (or .login,
    depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
    file if it is not there already.

        QTDIR              - the directory in which you're building Qt
        PATH               - to locate the moc program and other Qt tools
        MANPATH            - to access the Qt man pages
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH    - for the shared Qt library

    Note that under IRIX the additional LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH and
    LD_LIBRARY64_PATH variables are used for specifying library
    search paths. Set the variable that matches your configuration, or
    see the rld(5) man page for more information.

    This is done like this:

    In .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
    following lines:

        QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
        PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
        MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

 export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

now, I need to ask this hand holding question...is /root/.bash_profile 
the same thing, or, do I need to create a .profile file.? Cheers.
