Regards, Robert Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windscreen. -----Original Message----- From: John Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:48 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bash-2.05b Hi, After I uninstalled OpenOffice (and installed the latest release 1.1.1r3, which seems to work much faster than the last one) the bash prompt on my user terminal screen has reverted to displaying "bash-2.05b$" instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED] yyyy']#" and also I have lost the use of user defined aliases. If I su and become root the prompt is the normal [EMAIL PROTECTED] yyyy]# and the aliases work. There is so much about Bash in the manual but nothing I can see that helps here. I would appreciate help in getting things back to normal, please. John.
