changing prompt for super user

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Try this.

if [ "$BASH" ]; then
  PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
else
  if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
    PS1='# '
  else
    PS1='$ '
  fi
fi

That should do it.  Just modify the correct prompt for root and make it
what you want.

If you want to read the bashprompt-HOWTO is a good document
