Hi all,

I just got an idea for a better PS1 setting.

For LFS newbies to tell whether a command is executed successfully or 
not is a little tricky,
"echo $?" shows the return code for the last finished (foreground) 
command, but it is tedious
to type this command every time. So let the computer do it for us.

export PS1="\$? - [EMAIL PROTECTED] \w]\\$ "

For a successful execution, the return value will be 0.  Like
0 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

For other errors, a non-zero value will be shown instead. Like
127 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$


Regards,
William Zhou
