I had a bash 2.01 for bo available for a while; however, I didn't
follow the proper version conventions when I built it, and therefore
it could screw you up if you were using it and tried to upgrade to
hamm. I hope to re-package bash 2.01 for bo this weekend, after I get
my bo partition up and working, following the proper version-numbering
conventions this time - if my account has room, I'll put the source
.deb package there too.
In the mean time, a very simple solution to the "Netscape helper"
problem is to install ash, and link /bin/sh to ash instead of to bash
(just make certain that ash is installed as /bin/ash, not /usr/bin/ash
- I forget where the bo package puts it - if ash is installed as
/usr/bin/ash, cp it to /bin/ash before linking it).
