Exporting PS1 using bash as my login shell,made my zsh prompt unreadable.
I know for sure that it can cause problems with the tab completion.
Thus the book should be updated and that is the small first attachment
hopefully will do.
A small note that maybe worths considering.
I would rather see a different color prompt for the root (red) and for
user (green maybe) - for obvious reasons.
A simple construct like the following that can be placed to the
/etc/bashrc, it should do the job.
if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
PS1='\e[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\e[0;39m\w\$ '
else
PS1='\e[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\e[0;39m\w\$ '
fi
It's same PS1 that is in the Book but with added colors.
Please check the PS1 syntax if it is right or perhaps supply a better one if
you think there is one, because I don't care enough about bash to be honest.
That is the second patch about.
Do as you like, either way is fine by me.
