Description mashton 1999-11-23 21:24:21 EST

bug shows up as "[: argument expected" on bootup.

from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
Is:

# Load system font
if [ -x /sbin/setsysfont ]; then
    [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
    if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.psf.gz -o \
         -f /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$SYSFONT.psf.gz -o \
         -f /etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.gz -o \
         -f /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$SYSFONT.gz -o ]; then
--- problem is here ------------------------------^^^

should be:

# Load system font
if [ -x /sbin/setsysfont ]; then
    [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
    if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.psf.gz -o \
         -f /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$SYSFONT.psf.gz -o \
         -f /etc/sysconfig/console/$SYSFONT.gz -o \
         -f /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$SYSFONT.gz ]; then


did no one even boot this??
