To get the genuine Korn Shell goto rpmfind.net site using the following URL: ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/ksh93-2000.10.31.0-1.i386.rpm . After downloading all you need to do is rpm -ivf ksh93-2000.10.31.0-1.i386.rpm I am just curious why you need the korn shell when the bash sh

Hi! I guess I can be of some help on this one, as far as I am not a computer scientist, but an engineer that uses Linux for normal client work. Ok. Graphical vs text mode works the same on Windows world than on Linux/Unix world. Why most people uses the command prompt for doing things, is just b
