well I am looking for green (one computer) and red the other. I followed to the best of my limited abilities to follow some internet instructions but I could not get it so the prompt allowed line wrapping of commands. I am using fedora 10 and centos 5.3. this is my prompt. I thought this would be easy but its not for me.

again I want the exact same prompt this creates but colored. thanks much.
on fedora gnome-terminal that can be done with the terminal gui , from
edit/current profile
and select the colors tab and set it there to custom or to use system default if that IS the system theme text color
i wrote my theme so i set the terminal text color there
