And that is my reason. I'm packaging an application for my distro. (Or... trying to.) I have to assume that the user has nothing installed but the bare minimum, which on Gentoo is pretty bare. I *know* that sed is in that minimum, but I'm not sure that perl is. I'm looking into it, but I'm pretty sure a Gentoo user doesn't have to install perl if she/he doesn't want to, and I'd hate to force them to, just for this one liner. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
