Well, we can use many kind of character for a prompt. Maybe the % is old

they use ">".
I have to admit that since everybody here used mdk9.1, I should use the one
we all know - I'm sorry for this mistake.
I have to mention that I don't have my linux in my box because my Quantum
Fireball 30Gig, which was my HDD for my linux, is dead. I'm just answered

Song,don't worry about it at all.

As a matter of interest I found the discussion interesting.

I surely cannot be the only one to notice, that all over the place the % is used in commands, but for what reason ?
When I want an example I cannot find one. Damn it, but I'm sure people must of noticed them.


The fact that % didn't work in my particular instance is just 'by the way' , and as such it is still interesting to know why the % character is so often used . I think there is more to the use of the % character than has yet come out, am I wrong ?
