Including > version, please. Thanks. Hi Ralf. This is an experimental system currently in build. Unfortunately the broken toolchain has prevented completion of an an operational build. The system currently has two shells: hsh - The Heirloom Shell ash - Kenneth Almquist's Shell The ash shell has some bug fixes applied to the build scripts in order to make it compatible with Linux based systems. Shell scripts are initially tested with the Heirloom shell for syntax portability, and are expected to run on a Bourne compatible shell (which will probably be ash), in a live environment. The heirloom shell is version 050706: http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/sh.html The ash shell is ash386-0.2a: ftp://markhobley.yi.org/packages/ash/ash386-0.2a.tar.bz2 I can give you specific system related information on request, if you require additional information. (Basically, this is currently a broken Debian, which will be butchered to remove Debian specifics, a new kernel will be build. The system will be more like Slackware when it becomes built. My systems currently run Debian for legacy reasons. I do not like this distribution.
