Seems right, though I don't know why the book puts PS1 in /etc/profile when ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc which sources /etc/bashrc. This means that /etc/bashrc is called whether it is a login shell or not. I also don't understand why there are 2 exports in each file with one commented out. I'm CC'ing blfs-dev for those questions. For your specific problem, discussion should stay in blfs-support. > echo $PS1 gives: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ That looks correct. Are you getting double prompt all the time? As root and non-root?
