A true minimal-footprint install would not require bash, so this would reduce the size (dash installed size: 155K, bash installed size: 3.6M). > You create a *lot* of porting work for all those > scripts.

The remaining scripts are largely going to be Fedora-specific, and that's not nearly as big of pile of code as you imply. It is also funny to hear the systemd author talk about not breaking things and creating lots of work. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
