Okay, I didn't have a .bashrc, so I created one and put the line export PS1='\$' in it. Even after a reboot, I'm still greeted by the familiar username@hostname:workingDirectory$ prompt, so evidently, there's more to a minimal .bashrc to change the default prompt. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
