Dont know how to expand this variable, but maybe you should use arrays. to declare an array: declare -a OnBootEth and to use: OnBootEth[ 0 ]="yes" OnBootEth[ 1 ]="no" if [ "yes" == OnBootEth[ 1 ] ] then ... $index=2 OnBootEth[ $index ]="yes" ...
And of course, man bash can give you many ideas. Hope this can help -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
