Got it!    It seems that in ubuntu, the aliases have to be
in /etc/bash.bashrc. and they need sudo in strategic places.
Also, I had to replace all the /mnt/ commands with /media/,
for instance,   /media/hda1 instead of /mnt/da1


I couldn't get suitable results when the aliases were in
/root/.bashrc or /home/alex/.bashrc.

Thanks for the assist.
