I noticed this comment on a Web page about compiling kernels with Ubuntu 6.10 (http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu). Pretty much sums up the problems outlined in this thread: --- quote follows --- On Ubuntu 6.10, /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash by default. /bin/dash seems to make problems when you compile software from the sources, at least I had that impression. That's why I make /bin/sh a symlink to /bin/bash instead. If you are on Ubuntu 6.10, you should do this now: rm -f /bin/sh ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
