What in a shell script is different from a set of commands executed one at a time form the command prompt? Effectively nothing. However, scripts in a file provides easier replication and modification. I don't want to have the book say "download this script and execute it", but there really isn't a problem with a set of any valid shell commands, even if they start to get a bit long. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
