That does not look right to me (doesn't look like RAM could capture the final result), but I should let some bash expert answer. I really don't know that stuff.

You're quite right, it's not. It either needs $() or `` around it,
w/ $() being the preferred option.

Code:

RAM=$(dmesg | awk --re-interval -f ram.awk)

Burning a new version of the script with the suggested change and I'm going to test shortly. After that I will double check on the ram.awk file used in the live cd test and update you guys.

Thanks again.

After changing the line that calls ram.awk in my script from

Code:

RAM=dmesg | awk --re-interval -f ram.awk

to

Code:

RAM=$(dmesg | awk --re-interval -f ram.awk)

I get a blank when i try to echo RAM to the screen.

Still working on checking the livecd test and getting a dmesg output from the installer kernel. Keep getting interrupted while working on it
