alias problem

Hello everybody,

I'm probably making some stupid mistake, but I can't get the alias thingie to work. This is what happens:

Quote:

[jethro@laptop jethro]$ alias lla 'ls -la'
bash: alias: lla: not found
bash: alias: ls -la: not found

I figured uit that I can put the alias line in .bash_profile, but I have to make it work first.

Best regards,
Jethro

PS. I'm using Mandrake.

Nevermind, right after the post I found the anwser: it's supposed to be [B}alias lla='ls -la'[/B]. I've put the line in .bashrc and it's working fine now.
