I put it in /mnt/ext1/system/bin. If I need to use a lot of the utilities in there, I change the path to include that directory. You just need to run the following line in your shell:

Code:

export PATH=/mnt/ext1/system/bin:$PATH

You can type it by hand, or put it in a file (say /mnt/ext1/system/bin/setpath) and "source" it:

Code:

source /mnt/ext1/system/bin/setpath

if that's easier to remember.

The ssh session has that path built into it, so you don't have to do that when using it. It's only in utelnetd or pbterm that you have to add it by hand. Maybe I'll look at adding it automatically to utelnetd, if I can figure out how to do it without busting the other environmental variables.
