To change it for all users:

        Edit /etc/profile, changing this line:

                PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

        to this:

                PS1="[\u@\h \w]\\$"

To change it just for yourself, add the line above to ~/.bash_profile.

You can find information about what the \u, \h, \w and \$ mean in the
Bash manpage.  (man bash)
