The best I ever get is "/root", which was the value of $PWD (or output >of `pwd`) at the time that the PS1 was exported.

I guess there is no way to do that with ash shell. In bash, you need to do: PS1='[\u@\h \w]\$' However bash is probably too BIG for a floppy. You can look for an ancient version of bash and compile yourself, but IMO it doesn't worth it. -- Julio César Gázquez Area Redes, Informatica y Comunicaciones UTN - Facultad Regional Rosario http://www.frro.utn.edu.ar ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Bringing you mounds of caffeinated joy. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
