Re: Bash can't find, PS1 and HISTSIZE
I have freshly installed Slink and put the following lines in my ~.bashrc : case $TERM in xterm*) PS1 =\[\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]: \w\007\]\w\$ Isn't the white space character before the = sign cause bash to interpret PS1 as a command ? ;; *) PS1 =\w\$ ;; esac HISTSIZE =1000 _ I get the following error when I open an xterm, bash: PS1: command not found bash: HISTSIZE: command not found bash-2.01$ I don't understand this. Both commands worked in my last Slink system. I checked the list archives and didn't find anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

Anyone know how to fix this? yes try deleting the spaces after PS1 and HISTSIZE. try this: case $TERM in xterm*) export PS1=\[\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]: \w\007\]\w\$ ;; *) export PS1=\w\$ ;; esac export HISTSIZE=1000 _ you should be able to export them all at once by adding a line: export PS1 HISTSIZE to the bottom of the .bashrc instead of exporting each one individually, but it really does not matter which way you export them just so you do.
