[buug] clean install wanted

I am trying to give slackware the benefit of the doubt...


I have switched to slack ware from redhat today.  I did this because  I have
read that slackware is very simple and configurable and it doesn't do alot
for you, rather it lets you do what you want.

first thing i type ls at the prompt and get a color listing...

Then I type alias and see that the install decided for me that I want some
aliass set up.  Hum...

I know this is not a big deal, but I was expecting a plain system.  I
basically installed  only the essential stuff to run in a text mode.

I looked for this alias setting first in my .profile and .bash* in my home
dir...not there...then in in the /etc/profile...(the /etc/profile.d is
empty)

man...where is it setting my aliass?

I just want a bare bones *minimal* system...nothing that doesn't need to be
set or be there!

any suggestions?
