ya, it's like that to run any executable program (from a directory that's
not in your path) you'd just have to edit your .bash_profile and put a .
in the path (that's right, just a period) BTW, i heard that doing this
for the root login can create a security hole but you're probably just
running linux on a standalone anyways right?
