This package is based on the package 'bash' from project 'openSUSE:Factory'.

!! WARNING !!
this version of BASH includes a patch to log all commands to syslog

Bash is an sh-compatible command interpreter that executes commands
read from standard input or from a file. Bash incorporates useful
features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is intended to
be a conformant implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools
specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).

added patch to log all commands to syslog

This package is based on the package 'mkinitrd' from project 'openSUSE:11.0'.

Mkinitrd creates file system images for use as initial RAM disk
(initrd) images. These RAM disk images are often used to preload the
block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root file
system.

In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
SCSI adapters that load the SCSI driver as a module. Because the
kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case is not able to
address the SCSI adapter, an initial RAM disk is used. The initial RAM
disk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is
available to the kernel as soon as the RAM disk is loaded. The RAM
disk loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the
root file system.
