Hi. Two issues with extra-prompt.sh which popped up during my work on the alfs-profile for blfs-6.1, see:
http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/alfs-discuss/2005-September/007000.html First the minor one: If my understandig of extra-prompt.sh as it is in the book is right, the output should replace the one from $PS1, cause if both are set to the normal values the output looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] workdir So I think there should be some more wording instructing to modify $PS1 in the bash scripts if using extra-prompt.sh unmodified. Second: I think there is an error in extra-prompt.sh (Joachim Beckers and I both checked the script installed by the profile and it is exactly the same one as described in the book) the output of the script if logged in as root is ALWAYS: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /root] It does not matter what directory you are in. If I'm not mistaken the error is that the values of $USER, $HOSTNAME and $PWD are filled in when the script is run at startup and not when the prompt is written to the screen resulting in the static output.
