Edit /etc/profile and insert at the end:
test "$SHELL" = "/bin/bash" && test -e ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
Or, if that looks too ugly to you:
if [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/bash" -a -e ~/.bashrc ] ; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
Then you can put all your personal stuff (in case your system is used by
more than one) in your ~/.bashrc:
PS1='\u@\h:`pwd -P` $ '
export PS1
For more info, see man bash ;)
