[SATLUG] BLFS -- root's PATH is all messed up...

[Travis M.]

Hello,

I have finally got to BLFS, after compiling a kernel, configuring
GRUB, and then rebooting!

However, I seem to have ran into a problem...it seems that root's PATH
enviroment variable is all messed up, after I installed Linux-PAM (the
one from the LFS book, since it's slightly newer), and reinstalled
Shadow (from the BLFS book). The BLFS book says to create a
"~/.bashrc" file, but I dunno how to create a working one, and Lynx is
horrible on my laptop (VGA text console with small letters, it's a
*feature* specific to my laptop). I might need to create more than
just the "~/.bashrc" file, so I need to know what I need to do to set
a working PATH enviroment variable at login time. I'll also need to
know what a working PATH is, of course.

Without a working PATH, I won't be able to install OpenSSH-Server or
configure IPTables right now, and so I really need a working PATH.

Thanks
