Ronin Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 I know this has been covered before but darned if I can find it. How do I set up my term to permently have a colorized prompt with different colours for root? I had it in 8.x and I swear I found the information here but I just can't find how again. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Thank you both Steve and aru. That was exactly what I was looking for. Can't imagine why I couldn't find that last night. DOn't suppose it was the beer by any chance? Nahhhhh, internet must have been down, ya that's why. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
