I'm replacing /bin/sh with dash as I've found that even in POSIX mode, bash allows for a lot of bash'izms in scripts, which would not otherwise run under (d?a)?sh. See the post-install script attached. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, April 6, 2023 15:18:19 Sorry for my terrible english...
