I am wondering what is the significance of the "#1>" and the "#130>" in
your shell prompt, is that a function of the shell you are using or is
it a custom prompt?

The windowing system in Linux is mult-layered.

There are libraries for X, for kde and gnome

Run xterm, rxvt, wterm, eterm, kterm or other xshells. (See your
KDE/Gnome or other menu in X11).

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.
You could always start an xterm (or one of the other packages that
provide x-terminal-emulator) from within X; that will give you shell.

Oh, another thing I've added to remember how many jobs I have in the
background. This only apperes where there are jobs, but if not, it
doesn't apperes.
function jobcount {
JOBS=`jobs | wc -l | awk {'print $1'}`
[ $JOBS != 0 ] && echo -n "$JOBS:"
}
PS1='\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[32m\]\h:`jobcount`\
If your shell is bash then zou can create aliases. Write in .bashrc something
like
alias cd='cd ../../..'
This allows you to type cd on the command line to go 3 directories up.

Hi all,
NOTE that this is OFFTOPIC.
would you like to recognize fastly if you're a normal user or root?
Change the default debian PS1 to something like this for your user:
PS1='\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[32m\]\h:\w\$\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[37m\] '
and for the user root change the 32 to 31.
Just easy ;-)

To everyone who has replied to my question.
Thanks I have my prompt as I want it, I also now understand some of the
bash man information.
I also just wanted to check that my new netscape 4.06 is working.

Hi,
On Hamm, if I login as root or while logged in as myself do a "su"
then my shell prompt shows the host and current directory.
When I am logged in as myself my prompt is just a $
I much prefer to see the current directory in my prompt. So how do
I change it?
