Used to be ~300k in the 4.* days and bash about 500k IIRC. On my machine bash is bigger than yours (newer version?): $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 676752 Nov 9 11:57 /usr/local/bin/bash Don't know why bash is writable by root but sh & ksh aren't. Seems like I've ended up with bash installed whether I like it or not: $ pkg_info -R bash-3.2.25 Information for bash-3.2.25: Required by: gnome-doc-utils-0.12.0 libgnome-2.20.1.1_1 rarian-0.6.0_1 :( -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
