First, where are you going to install SUNWbash from - are you going to ship a copy of the package for every supported older release? (OK, that's only 2, but still.) What about sites that ban bash (and anything else optional) from their machines? In general, I think we should be working to minimize dependencies - particularly in the installation system. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
