[maemo-developers] (update2) Is array implemented in bash ...?

[From: Darius Jack]

Thanks.
Open terminal
bash  enter
bash-3.2$

file starts with #!/bin/bash

array1.sh      (bash: array1.sh: command not found
./array1.sh     (bash: ./array1.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or "direy"
bash ./array1.sh
runs shell script under ash
interpreting array operations as command not found

Should I really remove ash ?

Default [Announce] bash as the default shell
Tired of the built-in busybox shell?

I've made a package of bash 3.2. Unlike other instances of bash floating around, this one is compatible with busybox and can be used as the default shell without sending your tablet into an infinite reboot cycle.

To make bash the default, edit /etc/passwd and replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash for users 'user' and 'root'

and tablet was exactly sent into an inifinite reboot cykle ;(
