PS1 is the variable that stores what to display at your prompt
so depending on what your PS1 is initially before running this, you will get different result. _________________ The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes! |

basically it puts the (chroot) string in front of your prompt.
this helps you to remember that you are in a chrooted environment. _________________ The message is Feierei, alder! The message is Gude Laune, alder! [Sven] |
