But if you were to put a ':' (colon) as the first character, it recognizes it as a bourne shell script and executes it as such. I hope this bug is fixed soon... I would work on it, but I don't have enough HD space to re-compile a new kernel. Does anyone have a compiled kernel (with ALL of the patches? ie: 2 hd, Xwin patch, lpt patch, SCSI, and all the other little tidbits. When I find a kernel that has the 2 hd patch it doesn't have the Xwin or lpt. Or one with X, it doesn't have the lpt or hd patch. any help would help :) thanks in advance... -- Brandon Myers bmyers@rucs2.sunlab.cs.runet.edu
