Of stuff in PATH? /bin/sh is assumed throughout to be a Bourne compatible shell (and SHELL and CONFIG_SHELL aren't universally honoured). uname, hostname and sed are called with hard paths (with various fallbacks) in several early on stages. Of stuff not in path? There's no standard and widely used way of digging up where libexec tools are. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
