I think you missed the point here.  We want to use generic Bourne Shell 
not Bourne Again Shell.  I was asking whether it was correct, not 
whether it worked on Slackware.  Even though it's for Slackware Builds, 
the script should still be logical and correct.

I guess it's being picky but I like the fact that we try to make our 
stuff the best that it can be.
