Debian includes a csh package (though most people I know who use cshish shells use tcsh, which is also in Debian). It also includes a large number of Bourne-style shells, including ash, bash, pdksh, and zsh. It sounds like you're unhappy with /bin/sh pointing to bash; some people use ash for this purpose instead, for its smaller memory footprint. Debian packages try to make an effort to be compatible with any POSIX Bourne shell when possible, and if not, to explicitly use bash. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
