command line and xload title

[Proteus]

hello,
after installing my command line is:

Code: Select all

username@debian:$

This also affects xload title and many other applications - it begins with "debian". How do I change this to:

Code: Select all

username@something_else:$

or in "su" mode:

Code: Select all

something_else:#

I guess then the xload title will also change.

thanks

Not sure about xload or the other things you suggest are being affected... but as for changing your command prompt, I recall a thread on Gentoo's Forums about something similar. The first page also has some links on how to do prompt code.

Of course, that's a partial answer and it assumes you're using a bash prompt. Post if you need more help, especially from someone different who knows what they're talking about (not me ).

Your are asking how to change the hostname. Look inside /etc/hostname. Do man hostname for additional information.
