I thought about this last night a bit. In most cases, I would agree that forcing a particular shell is not nice. However, in our case it's actually preferred to make the shell bash since it more closely conforms to the environment we set in the book. If you look at some of the commands in the generated Makefile, there the ones you would be executing from your interactive bash shell if you were following the book. That's how I see it, anyway. But I'd still like to remove as many bashisms as possible from jhalfs when there's a sane portable replacement. That's not my call, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
