Change prompt

This is more out of curiosity than necessety. In terminal, the prompt for regular users is "username@hostname:~$" but as root it's just "hostname:~#"

Is there a way to (permanently) change the root prompt to "root@hostname~#"

I think it looks cleaner in a way...

Have a look at /root/.bashrc for a start...
