I installed bash and want to keep the old prompt I had with busy box for the user "user". I already destroyed and had to completely reflash in a previous attempt to get back my old prompt. fyi here is was the PS1 on busy box..."\w \$".

once in as user in bash I can type that and if changes to the old nicer busy box prompt but of course it gets lost. I tried putting it in .bashrc and exporting but that did not make any difference (unless I then manually typed source .bashrc). I also tried putting "source ~/.bashrc" in /etc/bash.bashrc, but that did not help either...

so in summary...using bash now for both user and root. happy with root prompt (kept the old prompt) but hate user prompt and want to get it back to my old prompt...without having to do another complete kernel and emmc reflash...

thanks...
