A) choose a shorter hostname
B) change your default prompt via an export PS1=.... in $HOME/.bashrc
see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/bash-prompt-escape-sequences.html for the PS1 options... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
