I think the point was that there already *is* a command named lsb- release (try it- it's there in Fedora 2 at least). I for one don't see any reason to add a 'uname -d' if lsb-release is already specified. I imagine that it's easier for utilities to check for the existence of the lsb-release executable than it is to check for uname's support of a -d flag. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
