While I was customizing the minimal CD, I noticed that /root/.bash_profile is getting called twice. I know it does not matter for most of people but in my case it was a problem. I found the source problem in /bin/bashlogin script. $ cat /bin/bashlogin #!/bin/bash export HOME=/root cat /etc/motd 2>/dev/null cd /root #[[ -e .bash_profile ]] && source .bash_profile exec -l /bin/bash -i After commenting out the second line from the end, .bash_profile is called only once. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. print a line of text from /root/.bash_profile 2. boot from the CD Actual Results: the line is printed twice Expected Results: .bash_profile called once.
As we have stopped using bashlogin[1] to take care of the automatic login, this should be fixed. Feel free to reopen if you can duplicate this. [1] - http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/livecd-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=89e2c85b20e87394a546410408ab13f40fc3d28e
