How about: PS1='\[\033[40;31m\]pwd: \[\033[40;33m\]\w \[\033[40;[EMAIL PROTECTED] ' I'll repeat my conclusion: leave it as PS1="\\$ " and provide a customization app for sysadmins to edit /etc/profile and another for users to edit ~/.bash_profile (and other dotfiles too, of course) and keep the installation's paws away from customizations that EVERYBODY has a different opinion about. -- Christopher J.
