This is a good idea - but make sure you can still boot! Under 0.0, the latest bash compiled with little or no effort, and I had it installed as bash, then tried to configure perl -- and got fed up with the lossage of /bin/sh so I replaced /bin/sh with bash... Then, at the next reboot, the kernel came up and never made it to a shell prompt. It took a while to figure out what had happenned, and then I just put the old sh back. I haven't debugged the problem at all, nor do I know if it is still a problem under 0.1 (I'll try it this weekend.) _Mark_ <eichin@athena.mit.edu> MIT Student Information Processing Board Cygnus Support <eichin@cygnus.com>
