-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just switched from Red Hat 4.2 to Debian 1.3.1 and I am now realizing how much Red Hat really hides you from things.
I don't like the default setting for the bash prompt Debian give you and I want to change it. I edited my /etc/profile and added the line: PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED] \W]\\$ " So my prompt looks like" [EMAIL PROTECTED] tcole]$ tcole is the user, atheist is the computers name and the second tcole is the last part of the working dir. This works fine when I am at the console as a normal user but as root I only get: atheist# and In XFree86 it gives me: bash-2.00$ I can live with the way root's prompt as I try to use root very little but I would like to change the prompt in my XTerms. What file would I edit to do this? I tried adding this to my .bash_profile and looked through the bash man page. I would also like to make these changes global. And help would be cool. Thanks. - ------------------------- E-Mail: Travis Cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.methow.com/~tcole -- Get my Public Key here Date: 21-Jul-97 Time: 21:02:35 640Kb should be enough for anybody Bill Gates - ------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBM9QzGmgYC2+RaorhAQHOdwP9G/Xm0LESFxlyr5TvsrH9G/vvE2Zptbai gFsXHE/tAwoTWWKlkHMe+3/IDQW7CT59FUxuMFNbBAE7ZDsXk9hBpScBSTH8t74F F3gI+IMNRr2JTQRQRm21hAa/gCUd36/UIt2Bp/RNxYPX7h8OtwrqOFDsoMuoYinp XgvO0U2jOfg= =+lYF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
