lfs-bootscripts 1.9, wrong column count over serial connection

[list@…]

I found following bug in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. If you use a serial console "stty size" (line 16) always reports "0 0". When you start something like "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd start" the "[ OK ]" message beginns at column 0 and overwrites the "starting ..." text. Following patch resolves this problem. ============== snip ==================== --- functions.orig 2002-05-29 17:07:31.000000000 +0200 +++ functions 2002-05-29 17:09:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -15,6 +15,10 @@
