Hi Linuxers,
I just released Kiss version 0.13 due to code changes and contributions for
the "mount" command. I'm not uploading this version to sunsite or tsx-11 (I'll
do that at a later stage, when more code changes occur). Kiss is used as the
shell interpreter in my SAR package to create a rescue disk. So, if you're
interested, pull the sources off the original ftp site, which is:
ftp.icce.rug.nl, directory /pub/unix, file kiss-0.13.tar.gz
I am including the LSM entry here:

Title: Kiss: the Keep It Simple Shell
Version: 0.13
Entered-date: 1995
Description: Kiss is a simple shell language interpreter, meant especially
to be used with rescue disks. Kiss contains a lot of built-in
commands, which means that you can put Kiss on a bootable
floppy and leave out the programs cat, cd, chgrp, chown,
chmod, cp, grep, kill, ln, ls, mkdir, mknod, more, mount, mv,
printenv, pwd, rmdir, rm, setenv, sleep, touch, umount, wc
(this list may grow..). Furthermore, having a statically
linked Kiss on your hdu might help you if your /lib gets wiped
out: you'll still have some programs that execute. Kiss comes
in three flavors: with GNU Readline (offering line editing
and filename completion), with getline (offering line
editing), and with neither (offering the smallest executable).
See also my SAR package, which creates a bootable Search
And Rescue disk.
