When I login useing a regular term and then use a KDE term I get two
different profiles.
How do I set it up so I get the same .bash_profile each time?

At least with the Bourne shell, the profile is only read for a login
shells. Most window managers that I've encountered don't start login
shells for xterms. Caveats: I've never used bash or KDE.

ISTR that xterms will read a configuration file, perhaps the KDE term
does too. Try its man page.

Sounds like you're putting things into .bash_profile which actually
belong in .bashrc...

this is what I found out when i RTFM

If you copy bash to /root
and then add /root/bash to the /etc/shells file
and then create a .bash_profile file on /root
the system will start up in bash
now save the .bash_profile file as .bashrc
this will cause the terms to come up is bash
