If we don't care about UNIX from the seventies, this should work fine: if [ "$x" = "$y" ]; then echo "foo"; else echo "bar"; fi I guess you don't assign the variables correctly. Please make sure you don't use spaces around "=" in assignments, but use them in comparisons. You can replace echo "foo" with echo "foo$i." to see the value of $i in the same expression. > ** How would you define the "rescue" mode ? In what situation > can it be useful to the user ? I think the idea was to move most interactivity to a separate module called normal. If that module is not available, the internal "rescue" mode is used to make it possible to load modules. I don't know how practical it is. > ** Does the "ofconsole" console supports unicode ?
