Nice that this also works Xless / on the console :) Although I am not
too much into working from "behind proxies", I had a closer look at the
PS1 strings Didier posted in this thread on Friday. I could find the
backslash escaped special /characters/ documented in the bash(1)
manpage. A web search for the text formatting (colors and style) of
course returned a lot of results, including several "PS1 generators",
some "Extreme Power Prompt" examples [1] and this extensive "Bash
Prompt HOWTO" [2] at TLDP. But where would I have to look "on board"
for a documentation of these powerful escape sequences?

By the way, I just noticed that packages.debian.org has the doc-linux
package listed no longer but in oldoldstable.

Ahoi,

Florian
