Actually, the last time I checked, one of the main packages that have the problem is glibc and it has been brought up. In the past they refused to change, although they only need to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash I don't know if this is the current status or not, however, there is really no advantage in not using bash. After all, it's the only shell available after you chroot. I really don't understand why some distros use dash. Yes, dash is smaller and faster, but although the differences are measurable, they are not discernible to the user. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
