	Bash Install The last package we'll be installing before we can give this sucker a boot for the first time is 'bash'. This is what is known as a shell. It's kind of like windows command.com There are many shells available for linux, but this is the standard. It's also refered to as 'sh' sometimes. Unpack the archive just like you did in the last chapter with gzip and tar. Go into the bash directory that was just created and type ./configure --enable-static-link Now type make Copy the file bash to /mnt/linux2/bin Now, we are ready for a test run into the new system. Reboot the computer. At the lilo boot prompt, type linux2. If all goes well, linux will boot up and ask you for your password. Type in whatever your password is from the system you copied the passwd file from. You should see a bash prompt. If you are there, congratulations! If not, you better re-read and make sure all was done correctly. The only thing you are able to do now is issue a reboot -f command to reboot the system back to linux1.
