Bash prompt is created from the env variable "PS1" If really all you want i=
s=20
"bash#" then try:
$ export PS1=3D"bash$ "
to make it permanent, add to (or edit) one of your bash startup files,=20
probably /etc/profile for systemwide, or ~/.bashrc for users

I like a bit more info in my prompt, so I use:
PS1=3D"\[\033[0;31m\][$(date +%H:%M)][\u@\h \W]#\[\033[0m\]"
