From you post it looks like you don't need bash at all. Maybe most people wanting bash on device don't realize busybox ash is good enough (and possibly faster and less memory hungry). Aliases work too of course, it is standard Bourne shell. There is also tab completion and 'normal' line editing. As for .bashrc you can have it working with ash too. Just create ~/.profile with something like: # ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells. if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 export PATH mesg n and ~/.bashrc # ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. export PS1='\h:\w\$ ' umask 022 # You may uncomment the following lines if you want `ls' to be colorized: # export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto' # eval "`dircolors`" # alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS' # alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l' alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA' and it works. You can also set ENV to ~/.bashrc to have it read for every shell (not just login shell from .profile) export ENV=~/.bashrc Frantisek
