PS1 question:
How can I change the PS to display the current directory? According to
documentation, the \w should show the current directory, but when I used it,
it showed ~, what I'm looking for is to display info similar to pwd.
prompt question:
I'm using dsl modem, so the ip address is dynamic, and the prompt showed the
ip address, how can I change it to my computer name? I added it to my
/etc/host but I still got the ip address. This is what I have in my prompt.

I always put the following line in my ~/.bashrc
PS1=`echo "("'${PWD}'") "`
Works for me.
Greeting, Niels.
Took me a bit to crunch through that one...
It's equivalent to:
PS1='(${PWD})\$ '
Which, IMHO, is quite a bit easier to read.
Cheers,
Johnathan
