Okay found them and copied the .bash_profile to my user dir all via the
konsole using bash shell ver bash-2.05b$ ( this is actually my prompt too).
looking at the file i copied from a newly created user and the version
in /etc/skel they are look the same (as i would expect since i created a new
user then logged in as that user then copied it across to my home dir as
root).
BUT still i don�t get what the new user gets (namely the below pasted prompt)
bash-2.05b$ su temps <--- my current terminal prompt
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dave]$ <--- temps terminal prompt and what i wish to have
restored.
below is temps .bash_profile
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dave]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
unset USERNAME
