Hi gang,
I have MKD 8.1 installed on 3 different machines, different MoBo's, mem, vid 
etc.
My question is, on my Athalon 1.2Ghz, ePox 8KTA3 MoBo, 512 RAM, Matrox 
Millenium 450, the prompt in bash is "bash-2.05$" and the delete key is also 
the back space instead of delete. If I try to delete during a session I get a 
system beep and a tilde, no back space. If I press the delete key with only 1 
or 2 letters <or whatever> it is the same as the back space key.
On the other machines bash works as expected and the prompt shows 
<user@hostname>$. I installed all the systems the same as far as I can 
remember, nothing special or exotic mostly just package selection. I didn't 
make any choices in the shell selection, it's the default setup here.
What could have gone wrong and what can I do about it?
OH, if I'm not using a term window, ie ctrl +alt+Fn, I get the expected bash 
prompt and behavior....
