good job.

Also, the 'pwd' command would help -- print working directory.

Also, do 'man bash' and search for 'PS1'. PS1 is the environement
variable that describes what your prompt looks like. Try this for
example:

PS1='Hello this is my CLI prompt> '

you can set PS1 and other shell configuration stuff in ~/.bash_profile and
~/.bashrc

Also, don't run as root!

later...
