While policy currently has bash in the base system, it might not always. David is involved with alot of embedded work and so far most people have cheerfully taken his patch. Being able to go from bash to dash in an embedded system would save 566.6k. In most cases moving from requiring bash to requiring a pure posix shell is just a matter of a couple cosmetic changes. -- Jeff Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
