Hi Steve,

Although I would normally agree with you, this isn't case of me not 
knowing how to set a bash prompt for all new (should have put that in 
earlier) users. You modify /etc/skel/.bashrc for that.

I'm trying to understand why my changes to /target/etc/skel/ aren't 
sticking.

I can change /target/root/ and /target/etc/profile.d/, so my script is 
working.

I'm overlooking something, I just don't know what.
