Good suggestion. However, to the best of my knowledge, there's been *one* report (the recent one, in this thread) in the last year or so where the sed command in the X instructions using a backtick has (maybe) caused someone a problem. I'm not sure we need to go to a bunch of trouble because of *one* report of a fouled up installation. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 23:00:59 up 91 days, 22:34, 2 users, load average: 0.25, 0.10, 0.04 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
