Wade, |

Thanks for the response. I think this will help me get it straightened out. |

So far I see no difference between the machines that work and the |
5 |
laptop which doesn't when doing the grep -r PS1 /etc/* command. |
6 |
However, when I echo $PS1 at the command line I do get different |
7 |
results: |

Laptop (fails) |
10 |
|
11 |
flash ~ $ echo $PS1 |
12 |
\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\] |
13 |
flash ~ $ |
14 |
|
15 |
Desktop (works) |
16 |
|
17 |
mark@godzilla ~ $ echo $PS1 |
18 |
\[\033[01;32m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\w \$ \[\033[00m\] |
19 |
mark@godzilla ~ $ |

|

Similar but not identical, and the issue right now is determining what |
22 |
set these, and if indeed these differences even matter. |
23 |
|

Thanks, |
