This is only a potential problem, but /usr should be expected to be a
remote fs...only /bin is guaranteed to be available at boot-time.

I'm not sure I follow...the dummy (80 default)? The current svn scripts
work fine here at 44x128 (as should 3.2.1/2).

Strange? I see none of the above in casual testing. What version of
the bootscripts are you using? Also, can you do two things before
writing up patches? First, 'mv /usr/bin/zsh{,-4*} /bin && ln -sf zsh
/bin/sh' to ensure that your testing environment is sane. (watch the
hard link if moving across partitions...use 'ls -li') Second, please
post the output of 'which zsh' and 'zsh --version'.
Just so you can see I have done the partial testing (but a real boot
appears to work well in 44x128), here is some test output for other
bootscripts:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ldd /bin/zsh
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7fd6000)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# which sh

BTW, the 'command not found' error for log_failure_msg is expected.
lfs-functions does not source /lib/lsb/init-functions directly.

Unfortunately, I have never tested with ksh ever...but what version and
where to get it from?

This list is fine, and thanks for the heads up. :-)
