"I need to get in and edit this as the root, and I don't know how to do it."

How bashrc is set up varies a lot from distribution to distribution. What distribution are you using?

What do you want to change in bashrc?

I am using Redhat 9.0 and trying to insert 2 lines.

I installed Java, now I need to point it at it I think so that Limewire will install.

Thanks.

bash looks for its parameters in /home/user/.bashrc. In Red Hat all of the .bashrc files are set up to use the contents of /etc/bashrc if it exists. That way bash acts the same for every user and you can change bash globally by changing /etc/bashrc.

So log in as root and edit /etc/bashrc to make your changes.
