=/ He's right!!!! Debian should provide a nicer default for the prompt. Many people take this things into account when deciding which distribution they like best. I think we should provide a standard prompt like: PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\\w\\$ " [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/doc/fvwm2$ _ Or the simpler... newton:/usr/doc/fvwm2$ _ Nicolás Lichtmaier.- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
