Description Joe Kallar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 15:40:09 UTC
Current LiveCD bash prompt looks like:
gentoo root #

During and after a chroot, the current root for the user is unlear. After the
chroot, it is not clear that anything has changed. Even when rebooting after
installation, it's fairly unclear.

I suggest the bash variable change the hostname as follows:
When in the CDROM ramdisk:
ramdisk root #            or      LiveCD root #

then when the user chroots, it will look like:
/ root #
Which should make it more clear, what is happening and where the user is during
the installation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot cdrom
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gentoo root #

Expected Results:  
ramdisk root #

the CD prompt is now cdimage #, so that should clear some stuff up. It stays the same in the chroot as well.
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 11:24:37 UTC
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
