no. it can't be "aborted" in the packages pkg-install, because signals are
off and all output goes to dev/null! the offending lines are:
8<-- cut-from-here -->8
su - root -c "%%X11BASE%%/bin/xinit %%MOZDIR%%/run-mozilla.sh ${FIREFOX} -install-global-extension -- %%X11BASE%%/bin/Xvfb
:1001" > /dev/null 2>&1
su - root -c "%%X11BASE%%/bin/xinit %%MOZDIR%%/run-mozilla.sh ${FIREFOX} -install-global-theme -- %%X11BASE%%/bin/Xvfb :100
1" > /dev/null 2>&1
8<-- cut-upto-here -->8
why not change them to:
8<-- cut-from-here -->8
su - root -c "PATH=$PATH %%X11BASE%%/bin/xinit %%MOZDIR%%/run-mozilla.sh ${FIREFOX} -install-global-extension -- %%X11BASE%%/bin/Xvfb
:1001" > /dev/null 2>&1
su - root -c "PATH=$PATH %%X11BASE%%/bin/xinit %%MOZDIR%%/run-mozilla.sh ${FIREFOX} -install-global-theme -- %%X11BASE%%/bin/Xvfb :100
1" > /dev/null 2>&1
8<-- cut-upto-here -->8
i think this is the direction to go, because it will allow the procedure to
find "non-standard" shells. i provided "local/bin/bash" for roots account.
the idea came to me as i found a workaround for the queer situation: when the
shell idled, i typed "true", followed by "^D" (CTRL-D), and the script seemed
to finish all right. i got a working copy of firefox!
