Georgina prefers the default BLFS prompt (of course, colors are invisible): |NORMAL="\[\e[0m\]" RED="\[\e[1;31m\]" GREEN="\[\e[1;32m\]" if [[ $EUID == 0 ]] ; then PS1="$RED\u [ $NORMAL\w$RED ]# $NORMAL" else PS1="$GREEN\u [ $NORMAL\w$GREEN ]\$ $NORMAL" fi| So, the choice is now as follows: 1) either keep the current verbose prompt for sighted users and use the BLFS prompt for speakup users, or 2) use the BLFS prompt unconditionally.
