Yeah, I understand it and plan to change # => $. I talked about /opt (our
default prefix) usually not being writable by regular users (installing any
software using standard system prefix will have this problem). Root is needed
only for creating /opt/ltp. That was the reason for the original user to use '#'.
But as I wrote, I'm ok to change the prompt.
