Replacing bash with ash as /bin/sh symlinked shell
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Because of recent discussion on here about disaster recovery someone
made a suggestion of installing ash and symlinking /bin/sh to it instead of
bash. I've done that on both a recent Potato system and an up-to-date Slink
system. So far I've not noticed anything breaking, only a slight dip
(1-2Mb) in RAM usage. This is most noticable on my Slink system since it is
on a laptop with only 20Mb.
For the record, bash is about 2.5 times the size of ash in memory. For
those non-interactive shells, that helps out a lot. :)
