Make a static version of bash, stuff it in /bin, and you should be ok. As for csh, forget it. It's an evil shell. There are a lot of good reasons not to use it, and no good reason to use it, no matter what the csh fanatics tell you. They have been brainwashed. Now, good old bourne shell, specially the enhanced version FreeBSD have, that's another matter entirely... :-) Don't fret about shell. If you boot single user, you'll be asked what shell to use, with a default of /bin/sh (see, even the system knows sh is better than csh!). So you can assign your dynamic-linked /usr/local/bin/bash as your default shell and be done with it. You'll always be allowed to go to /bin/sh in case of emergency. -- Daniel C.
