Re: Configure Error

Hi Cristian,

/bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash (at least on my Ubuntu 10 - I assume 
Debian is similar).

    jhje@rumleskaft:~$ ls -l /bin/sh
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-02-19 02:12 /bin/sh -> dash
    jhje@rumleskaft:~$


'dash' is a lightweight version of 'bash' and 'dash' only understands 
the most basic stuff. It speeds up booting because 'dash' is faster to 
load, but as you have discovered it has its limitations.

Kind regards
