Those evaluations work just fine after a 7.3 system is installaed and running. I assume it's a smaller, more basic shell. No matter, I suppose. > You could rewrite your script as: > > numdisks=`grep -cw 'sd$' /proc/devices` That doesn't work either because the grep provided by BusyBox doesn't support the -c flag. Turns out querying /proc/devices was a bad idea too. So I ended up with: NUMDISKS=`grep " sd[a-z] " /proc/partitions | wc -l | sed -e 's/.* //'` -- Derek Vadala, derek@xxxxxxxxxxxx, http://www.cynicism.com/~derek
