Why? I always have a backup at hand an a static sash just in case
something goes wrong when installing (which was just the case, BTW)
;) A long time ago I installed my fileutils, textutils, etc. under
/usr, but that lead to problems because lots of scripts wanted that
utilities under, for example, /bin/cp, /bin/mv, etc... OK, they
shouldn't assume that, but...
What really amazes me is that no one reported this problem
before: am I the only who compiles his own coreutils and installs
them over the old ones? O:)
And now is when you send me directly to your killfile: I've asked
in the past a couple of times about including a 'renice' command to
coreutils, with no answer. Will it be included in the future? If so,
I have written a very small 'renice' command for using in my box.
It surely is a crap, maybe non-portable and has nothing to do with
GNU coding standards, but it can be used as an starting point. If you
want it, just tell.
Thanks a lot to the team that makes coreutils possible. I won't
use my Linux without them ;)))) BTW, the new adjust 'ls' makes to the
columns is damn good :) Weird at first, but very useful to have more
room for the file name :)
