I am still discovering gems in the /.../bin directories :) OK, like I said earlier, it surely wouldn't hurt anything. I just don't think it would help much as it is assumed that any UN*X variant will run most any shell. I could be wrong, however. Perhaps there are a lot of newbies out there who somehow have a devotion to a shell but don't understand that they can install it. Like I said before, it couldn't hurt. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
