I put some alias's in my .bashrc file as I have with all my other distros but two of them don't seem to work.

these two work:
alias k='ps U dai'
alias c='clear'

not sure why they do not work as an alias but they work as normal commands ok.

these work ok:
clear
ps U adminuser

any help on this would be appreciated

I had an email off the admin when I registered but looks like he does not answer queries in this forum.
Forum seems deserted to me. Pity looks like a nice little distro.
