Well then I have to fix /etc/profile because that uses bash
specific features, and it looks like I'd have to fix the
sysinstall script too, and maybe there's some other script
somewhere...
Use tcsh and you wouldn't even look at /etc/profile (and since, as you say below,
you're just a lowly *user* of Linux, what the hell are you mucking with /etc/profile
anyway, thats in the domain of a systems administrator....)

I don't know how that could be possible, comp.os.linux one of the
highest volume newsgroups groups and every post in this groups
seems to be about problems.
Most of the posts in comp.os.linux are not "problems", of the "problems" posted
most are folks with little to no UNIX or UNIX S/A experience not understanding what
they are doing...if you actually *read* the posts, you would see most of them
have the infamous RTFM in them someplace...
>MS-LOSS?? Command.com has *zero* features,
It works. You can't say that about Linux's shell. I can type
CTRL-G in GNU Emacs under MS-DOS without any problems.
And I can do the same under tcsh or bash under linux, so whats your
point. Perhaps its *you* who doesn't know what your doing, and just too
arrogant to realize it...
