Seems right, though I don't know why the book puts PS1 in /etc/profile
when ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc which sources /etc/bashrc. This
means that /etc/bashrc is called whether it is a login shell or not.
I also don't understand why there are 2 exports in each file with one
commented out.
I'm CC'ing blfs-dev for those questions. For your specific problem,
discussion should stay in blfs-support.
Don't know about the 1st question, but the reason there are 2 PS1
exports in each file is because each PS1 is slightly different (the one
that's commented out just adds [ ] around the prompt).
