to redefine the prompt you need to assign a new value to variable PS1 for your scope should be something simple as PS1='\w\n\$ ' so you have only the current directory and no username and host. http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/howtos/Bash-Prompt/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO-2.html To define it permanenly, add the command to the file .bashrc in your home dir.
