Yeah, I did not mean to say login shell. I am not sure the proper way to phrase it, so i will just put it like this: Dash is good for writing scripts, personally I prefer it over Bash. However it is garbage as an interactive shell. It does not even support readline, and that is fine because its role is to be a fast shell for scripts. That is why I did not include it before. I would add that your mail is not on topic. The point of my email was not "Bash should be the dep", it was "some shell should be a dep". -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
