A 0.34 second search on google comes up with about 98,000 answers to  
the phrase "BASH how to change prompt."  I would appreciate if you  
would at least _try_ to search for an answer yourself, and if you  
cannot find what you're looking for, or don't understand the  
information you find, the ask the list.  The link for the above search  
is:  
"http://www.google.com/search?q=BASH+how+to+change+prompt&ie=UTF 
-8&oe=UTF-8" if you want to check it out yourself.
