Hi.
If you're using bash as your shell, set your PS1 variable to whatever
you want and then export it. If you simply want the # or $ and nothing
else, do the following in your ~/.bashrc file:
PS1="\\$ "
export PS1
That will give you the $ or # followed by a space as you prompt. Check
out 'man bash' under prompting for other things you can put in your
prompt.
Hope that helps!
