Hi all,

I've been wondering about my prompt... After the reinstall of my work-box, I
still had my old homedir available so I didn't have to create a new .bashrc
and such. I have defined my prompt as follows:

    export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\$ \[\033[00m\]'

And when I first log in the prompt I see is indeed:

    basvg@loki:~$ 

However, if I move around a bit and cd to some dir I get something like this:

    basvg@loki:/home/basvg/work/projects$

cd'ing back to $HOME then gives me, as was to be expected:

    basvg@loki:/home/basvg$

Even though this is just a `small inconvenience', it's been bugging me for a
few days now. I have no idea why this doesn't work. It used to! Can anyone
help me out?

    Cheers

        Bas
