Discussing whether to make bootscripts POSIX compliant or not is a discussion that we already had multiple times before with a decision to go for it. I don't think there is any need to rehash. BTW, debian devs would probably be offended if you called dash "incomplete". I think one of the debian devs had a blog on the speedup achieved by making their bootscripts use /bin/dash instead of /bin/bash. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:tus...@linuxfromscratch.org http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
