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'. I have not yet felt adventurous enough to symlink /bin/sh to /bin/bash.

Download bash3 at http://nitapps.com

Note: install at your risk. Making bash the default shell may break your tablet, requiring a reflash. It works on my N810 with OS2008, but that's only a sample size of one.
