Sorry but I'm very newbie to FreeBSD and I'd like to have a more comfortable environment. I'd like to setup what in Linux is "$PS1", so the shell prompt may look like: [userID@host /actual/path ]# for root or "$" instead of # for non-root. How can i set up this env-var? And, BTW three other questions: 1. I see two "profile", one in "/" as dot file, and one in "/etc" (???). Is this the rule or I did something wrong? So: where should command aliases (not mail aliases) go? In /etc/profile or other file like /etc/bashrc? 2. I have man pages, info, FAQ and handbook as "online" or "on-CD" documentation. Is there any other info source in my CD's (trying to save $$$ by online www browsing) and something like HOWTO's? 3. Are CD's #3 & #4 just source files? I'm using Walnut Creek FreeBSD 3.0 .
