Hi everyone.
I did a bad thing. I changed PS1 in /etc/bashrc and didn't have
another shell running so that if I messed it up I could recover.
The change I made resulted in the following error message filling the
screen:
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
bash: the.lair: ${PWD/} $: bad substitution
As you can see, I screwed up.
My question is: How can I get in to fix it?
Is there a way to bypass /etc/bashrc on login? If I could do that, I
could get in, edit bashrc, and voila! It would be fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Rick
