[ARMedslack] Prompts and Slackware (general not necessarily ARM related)

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Earlier today I had my Slackware (on Intel) system uninstall system.
Its installer removal program told me that I'd need to log out and log
back in before there would be any changes seen. Well I did that. On
logging back in I saw that the process had eaten the prompt.

It replaced the <user name>@<machine name> that's been a mainstay of
Linux since I first started using the OS many years earlier, with just
the shell name. Which is of course Bash.

I don't suppose all of you have any ideas for recovering things,
outside of reinstalling the works? In that eventually I made sure I
had downloaded a fresh DVD image of Slackware, and of the version that
the system is currently running. And I'm making plans for backing up
everything important that I put on the system since it was installed
about two years ago December. I also asked on a list that I fellow I
know runs where everyone runs everything else, and advice is rarely
Slackware friendly.
