Terminal prompt

[Matthias Klose]

the topic was brought up for the warty release as well. we normally
don't want to clutter the terminal with colour, you don't know about the
background of the terminal, and some colours become hardly readable.

please have a look at ~/.bashrc and just uncomment the uncoloured prompt
line.
