Hi Brian,I am not sure to what list you are referring to as /bin/sh is not using the normal /etc/alternatives system -- Can you provide more info, please?
There isn't a list per se; I was using that term metaphorically. dash, posh, ksh, mksh, and pdksh all have support for diverting /bin/sh to their respective shells. I'd like zsh to add that support. Obviously, the best solution is to make all the shells use the alternatives mechanism, but I think that may be impossible since /bin/sh is so essential to the system that dpkg (which provides update-alternatives) may not be able to be installed unless there is a working /bin/sh. Major props if you can get it to work. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only troff on top of XML: http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc/code/thwack OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
