Subject: .bashrc and Debian 2.2


I'm having some problems with my installation of Debian 2.2;

I have a few alias set up in .bashrc under my home directory however they do
not load on boot. If you open an xterm or that the settings are detected,
but
if I want them to work at the plain console I must manualy 'source
~/.bashrc'
which is an inconvience to say the least.

On a similar note, in /etc/ I have a file called "bash.bashrc" which claims
to
the system-wide default .bashrc file. Is this the correct name for the
file??
It just seems to be a different naming convention to the /etc/profile file.

Thankyou in advance for any advice,
