Just keep in mind that changing the root prompt must be done with care as=20
some utilities are on the /usr filesystem ( like /usr/bin/whoami ) so if=20
the system is booted into single user and doesn't have all the filesystems=
=20
mounted you can run into some odd situations.

To avoid this I've been leaving the root account alone (defaults to csh)=20
and have been using toor (set to use Korn shell with my own preferred=20
environment stuff).  So far it's worked for me...
