Could I make a slight request please? Is there anyway to modify the bash so when you run "sudo gainroot", it uses the "user" .bash-history? (I like how ash does that and when I need to be full root, I use the root command as per your easy root package).
Thanks.
Thanks.

Just to confirm that your bash port installs and runs fine OS2007.
Thanks!
Thanks!

A couple of quick questions from an N800 newbie. I need bash installed to be able to run a fix utility (script) for an e-mail app that I am running on my N800.
Is this bash package compatible with an N800 running OS2008?
After it's downloaded, how does it get installed?
What precautions should I take before starting any of this?
Appreciate hearing any thoughts.

I'm guessing Shell means a new GUI, is that right? Can anyone show what it looks like?
Edit: Oh I was thinking this was a whole new GUI for OS2008, but I suppose its just for an app called Busybox?

Well for reason of "eh" a week ago I bit the bullet and installed bash as the system shell ( rm /bin/sh then ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh) Works well, nothing broke, overall it feels solid reboots work at the same speed. AND I got my finger board back.

Thanks to linuxrebel, I can confirm that symlinking bash to /bin/sh & to /bin/ash works fine.

Hi. Does this bash package replace all the utilities in busybox as well as adding bash? Or does it at least allow me to replace them all without conflicts with busybox? Or does it just replace the shell, and leave the utilities pointing at busybox?
I'm keen to try this, but I'm unsure exactly what the result will be. Having written this out, I'm convinced it will be the third alternative from above, but just want to check. Ideally, I'd really like to replace the busybox utils with their fully fledged counterparts as well as having bash.
