[Solved] Setting a custom PS1

how can I append arch32 to my ps1? i just set up a chroot environment and constantly want to remind myself that im in it when i use it.  i'd like it in this format if possible: user@host(arch32) current directory

^ Stick that in your ~/.bashrc (or the one in the chroot, whichever applies).
