I was used to make a /tmp dir, and put copies of bash.exe into /bin/bash and /bin/sh for conveniency. I found that (NT sp3) configure scripts are hanging all the time, before completing (executing gcc, doing pwd, loading config.cache, doing 'test -z', ...). Then i remembered reading something about ash.exe. After replacing /bin/sh with the ash (why is it named sh?), my configure troubles seem to be fixed... Anyway, thanks for this grand release, greetings, Jan. ps: as an aside; about half a year ago there were discussions about installshield and rpm, which gave me the impression the next (major) release would use rpm, like i had been doing myself for some time. i had the luck to be off this list for about half a year (i hoped it were a bit be easier to escape the sad stuff of microsoft and make a living :-), did i miss something?
