Angelo,
I am currently away from home with a dodgy net connection and a phone which
probably doesn't have email set up correctly. I've already replied to the list
but if it dies not shoe up in the next hour or so could you bounce this on to
the list.

I'm currently away from home with a dodgy net connection. If you can wait 7
days, next Sunday, I will be posting how I build Barry.
Barry is my portable dev. env. that resides on a stick. It has been used
for 4 semesters and by over 800 1st year Engineering students with no problems
except for when students don't follow instructions and try and exercise
independent thought ;)

Subject: [Msys2-users] About creating a portable (pen drive) MSYS2 installation
I have read this old post (*):
https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/mailman/message/34734957
where the suggestions to create the user home seem to work but I notice that
the prompt still use the Windows user. More precisely:
Suppose one adds
db_home: /home/John_Done
then it creates /home/John_Done, i.e.
$ echo $HOME
/home/John_Done
and this is good, very good.
But the prompt still shows
angelo@Vega MSYS ~
and not
John_Done@Vega MSYS ~
i.e.
$ echo $USER
angelo
Is there a trick to do the same with USER, so that it prints:
$ echo $USER
John_Done
?
(a similar trick should also be valid to change the computer name, Vega ->
Moon, or the group, None -> John_Done, if possible).
Thanks,
Angelo.

and you should add them to your Wiki.
