Showing Path In Bash Shell

[JackRazz]

Is there a simple way of showing the current directory I'm in when using the bash shell in Tivo?

It would make life a little easier.

the bash prompt is controlled by the PS1 env var... "\w" in it is substituted with the working dir... google for other bash prompt strings

export PS1="\w> "

Here is what I use:
PS1='\n${PWD}\nMaster Bedroom\n\$ '

Looks like this:


/var/tmp
Master Bedroom
#

Thanks everyone for the great tips on my Bash prompt.

I ended up doing:

export PS1="root@Tivo:\w$ "

which seems consistant with what I use in Ubuntu. Now on to my next hack. I'm reading about bufferhack for a series 1(:

Info about bufferhack is included in hackman along with a link to the hackman add-in file distributed by JJBliss.

Hey PortlandLaw,
I don't have a network card in my Series 1. I have plenty of hard disk space as I just replaced my failing drive with a 160 GB Seagate :) . Would hackman still be the place to look if I want to apply the bufferhack?

Thanks - JackRazz
