editing root's profile?

hello,

how would one edit the profile of root to add java? i know the path to java but a user's profile is very different than root.
i know for a regular user you just edit .bash_profile but this, in root is very different. damn i sound redundant, but you get it hopefully.

Why don't you just create a link to the java executable in /usr/bin ?

what would be that command?

ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4/bin /usr/bin

that look right?

edit: didnt work.

More like:
ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4/bin/java /usr/bin/java
