Both commands worked in my last Slink system. I checked the list archives and didn't find anything. Anyone know how to fix this?
yes try deleting the spaces after PS1 and HISTSIZE. try this: ________________________ case $TERM in xterm*) export PS1="\[\033]0;\u@\h: \w\007\]\w\$ " ;; *) export PS1="\w\$ " ;; esac export HISTSIZE=1000 _________________________ you should be able to export them all at once by adding a line:export PS1 HISTSIZE to the bottom of the .bashrc instead of exporting each one individually, but it really does not matter which way you export them just so you do.
