Hi guys,

This removes dash from base group, and adjusts the standard /etc/shells accordingly. This file will now be updated on install/remove of dash.

Please test and signoff.

There's also a change to /etc/fstab in here which encourages mounting /tmp as a tmpfs.

Indeed. It also discourages mounting /dev/{pts,shm}. Sorry for not mentioning that.

Cheers,

Tom

Are these deprecated or now handled in the initscripts? I've always wondered why /proc, /sys, etc can't be in fstab too just so everything is clear, so I'm wondering if there's just a trend to move system type mounts from fstab to initscripts.
