I'm using SuSE 7, and I have a couple of queries - if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
1. The root prompt is '$' rather than the more traditional '#'. I'd prefer the latter - how do I change it?
Assuming you use the bash shell, you want to change the variable $PS1. Do a 'echo $PS1' to see what the prompt is currently set to, and then do: export PS1="<newprompt>" where <newprompt> is the old value of $PS1, with the ending '$' replaced by a '#'. If this works as you want it, you can put it in root's .profile file.
2. I'm accessing the SuSE machine from a Windoze box via Reflexion (an X client for Windows). It works very well, except that in the shell backspace acts as delete, and shift-backspace acts as backspace. Anyone got any ideas how to change this?
