That's exactly the point of my questions as well, actually. We got a |
| 17 |
bug report in (at least one, probably more), asking for choice in |
| 18 |
shells. The complaint essentially was that the rc-script and init stuff |
| 19 |
uses /bin/bash explicitly, and not /bin/sh. The thinking behind that |
| 20 |
report was that people may want to have some other-than-bash shell |
| 21 |
installed, which is what brings us to here now :) |
