Just wanted to tell that "/bin/bash" can be used. Actually, dash can certainly be used too (I've come to the conclusion long ago, that recent dash is perfectly suitable for lfs, but for some reason the debian maintainer does not want to use recent dash, so lfs fails to build on debian+dash). No experience with zsh, and I guess tcsh might be not enough POSIX compliant (but not tried either). We do not propose fish in the book, do we?
