3371	Symlinking /bin/sh to dash breaks the bootscripts.	ken@…	blfs-book@…	"On blfs-support, it has been reported that using dash for /bin/sh breaks the bootscripts : [http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2012-May/069952.html] because it doesn't support brace expansion.

Looks as if the specific problem was in the *LFS* scripts.

We could drop the claim that dash can be linked as /bin/sh, along with the symlink to do that, if anyone cares to use this shell. Not confirmed, because I'm not willing to use dash.

Personally, I think we should drop dash, but I'm prejudiced ;)

Alternatively, we could change the LFS scripts, as well as any similar instances in BLFS, but that is hard to justify since dash as /bin/sh is not adequate to build LFS."	task	closed	normal		BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
