Hi,

I often update factory while running my "stable" system by chrooting to 
it:

  mount  /otros/test_d/
  mount  /otros/test_d/boot/

  mount --bind /proc /otros/test_d/proc
  mount --bind /sys /otros/test_d/sys
  mount --bind /dev /otros/test_d/dev

  cp -f /etc/resolv.conf /otros/test_d/etc/resolv.conf

  chroot /otros/test_d/

Where "/otros/test_d/" is the partition where factory is. This works, I do 
a "zypper dup" and factory is updated. Fine :-)

But there is a glitch: the prompt does not change:

nimrodel:/ #


I'd like to have a different prompt on that chrooted xterm, so that I 
don't confuse it with my "stable's" xterms. Is it possible? The command 
"hostname" returns "nimrodel", not the real name of factory 
(minas-morgul).

I tried:

   nimrodel:/ # export HOSTNAME=minas-morgul hostname
   nimrodel:/ #

which does not work. Anyway, I don't really need the hostname to change, 
the prompt would be enough.


Do you know of a trick to do that? This is not strictly a "factory" 
question, but intend to use the trick for factory O:-)

Cheers,
       Carlos E. R.
