I've tested on dash, that is `sh'. Everybody is welcome to test on his favorite `/bin/sh' compatible shell. It's very unclear from bash man page, where are extentions, and where are common features. That particular script is small and non-bash oriented, unlike gen_initramfs_list.sh [s/sh/bash]. Thus it's OK, even in scope of SUSv3 "incompatible" "%ul" in `printf' (see my other reply on that). ____ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
