or you could make an alias
alias t='/usr/bin/osso-xterm ""'
the end is " " ' with no spaces tho
save it in .profile and root/.profile
don't overwrite root/.profile tho, use vi or leafpad to edit it

If you want to change your default shell youŽll probably need to look at some bootscripts too.

If you want to use ash or sh.. just begin the command with it. Like "sh ls /path/" would be using the sh-shell.
