I can't figure out where the CVS is for base-files, but I wanted to propose that the file:
/etc/bash.bashrc ... be altered to test whether the PS1 variable has already been set before setting it to the default. I set mine in a file in the /etc/profile.d directory, but with the standard Cygwin installation, this value is overwritten unless I modify each user's local setup or alter the system-wide file. It would be harmless to ignore already-set values in this situation. I could obviously generate a patch as necessary if I knew where the repository was, but it's a one-liner, basically: if [ -z "$PS1" ]; then PS1='\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ ' fi -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
