Good day,
[johan@unknown2a6800000000 ~]$
How/where could I make the above a lot shorter please. Thanks Johan
Just for prompt ? If yes, just play with PS1 :
export PS1="\u@myhost \w"
If not I think you have to change your hostname, right ?

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...

Hi Johan,
Follow exactly the same procedure that you did with your own login. Edit .basrc in /root and change the PS1 setting there. You have to be root to be able to do this.
