That's a somewhat more intrusive solution as _all_

software, i.e. software not from Altera, running on the

system is impacted.

Since you bring up the idea of optimizing the solution ;-),

IMHO, the best solution would be for Altera to change the

first line of their install scripts specifying "#!/bin/bash"

instead of "#!/bin/sh" if bash is in fact the type of script

dialect that is being written.
