Then continue to use the canonical Indiana or click the "GNU" option on the installer if they actually let us put options in the installer. I'm not trying to force my view on everyone, I'm trying to find an acceptable solution to the GNU problem for the rest of us. You consider the standards compliant tools to be a poor userland because they're older, I consider scripts that break because the bash people decided to break compatibility across versions to be a poor userland. To each their own. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
