Not quite -- there are conflicts between the commands themselves. For example, GNU and Solaris ls(1) have one option conflict: -v. So a /usr/gnu/bin will be needed, even if the number of such conflicts is very low. Which means the need to select between Solaris and GNU environments will not go away. The Indiana team has made a decent choice of default environment, IMO. Adding a knob would help but is not essential. And the bare minimum changes to either GNU or Solaris utilities so far discovered needed to make this livable seem to be small. Let's end the thread as Bart basically said. Eventually someone will get to making that bare minimum of changes. Nico -- _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
