What so wrong with bash? Apart from the fact that its not included in the unmodified base system of FreeBSD? Last I checked, we add lots of Gentooish stuff already. And that its not friendly to tiny embedded systems, which dont use a complex and powerful init system like Gentoo's (but prefer very simple ash scripts). -- Olivier Crête [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Developer -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
