Yes I thought about it after I let the fingers fly (it's in my other message). tcsh definately doesn't like it, but it's not very common for a default shell. I believe ash does, haven't tested just yet, and I'm not sure about zsh. And yeah, the bootscript changes will be going in shortly...as soon as I test what I have so far. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
