Setting up host in Terminal?

CauSTiC · 10-06-2002, 12:15 AM

I'm using RH8, I was wondering how to change the host/prompt in the console.

For example, mine looks like: [CauSTiC@The-Lab CauSTiC]$

That's one too many caustic's for me. I'd rather just have [CauSTiC@The-Lab]$ if possible.

Is it?

Thanks in advance!

Peace

In the PS1 variable of /home/.bash_profile or in /etc/profile, take out the "\u" character. Here's a great how-to on the bash prompt:
