In the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide they seem to suggest using $"..." is deprecated and gettext should be used directly. http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/localization.html So, any localization might be best done in a portable manner anyway. That would require moving gettext to /bin, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
