Test 7 : How can I change my default shell?

Wait, you're still getting bash when you run Cygwin, but you get ash in your
xterm, right?

In that case, I'd guess that you need to configure xterm to launch bash
instead of ash... I'm guessing that it can be done, but I've never done it,
so I can't really help in that direction.

Of course, you could just run bash from within ash.

hi there,

obviously, I misplaced my question in an inappropriate thread before, so I'm
going to ask again.

After having downloaded all the xfree binaries plus those Win9x fixes from
Harold, I'm getting the 'ash' shell instead of bashrc.
Could anyone please give me a hint where to change this?

Andreas
