For now, just warn the user against using ash, but keep it as an option in case newer versions of the /broken/ components come fixed, and we can again use ash, as it is in some cases really faster than bash. diff -r 0a44fc4d6bd0 -r 8ef937cc57ba config/global/build-behave.in --- a/config/global/build-behave.in Sun Aug 02 20:06:44 2009 +0200 +++ b/config/global/build-behave.in Sun Aug 02 23:50:22 2009 +0200 @@ -75,11 +75,15 @@ config CONFIG_SHELL_ASH bool - prompt "ash" + prompt "ash (READ HELP!)" help Use 'ash' as CONFIG_SHELL.
