The command prompt is set at the start of the shell, so a later host name change does not help here. But you can change the prompt later any time. The variable in question is PS1:

Your friend is 'man bash', and search for 'PROMPTING'.
Ah! Good. Tried that, worked, but lost the red color. So I found the original PS1 (10.3) and changed it thus: nimrodel:/ # export PS1=$'\\[\E[1m\E[31m\\]NOT_\\h:\\w # \\[\E(B\E[m\\]' NOT_nimrodel:/ # which is a good enough approximation to what I want, thanks. I wrote it as a comment in my script before the chroot command, because after it, it doesn't execute (and I don't want to change the profile or bashrc): echo echo " Copy paste the next line to activate prompt change:" echo "export PS1=$'\\[\E[1m\E[31m\\]NOT_\\h:\\w # \\[\E(B\E[m\\]'" echo chroot /otros/test_d/ /bin/bash --login So thanks, and thanks also to Volker for the "login" hint. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
