Exactly. As a portupgrade user i've done in my pkgtools.conf:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'shells/bash' => [
'WITH_STATIC_BASH=yes',
],
}
AFTERINSTALL = {
'shells/bash' => 'cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin'
}
And no more troubles even after portupgrade shells/bash :))

As another poster stated in this thread, use the static option of the port. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

No really - because in the original post the OP says he wanted to use this when only / was mounted. That means he should put his bash in /bin and make an entry to the /etc/shells. I do with ksh - my prefered shell for the last umpteen years. If you do have a shell you want to use all the time it had better be in /bin cause you will be lost if you get into single user mode from something like a crash and need to run utilities.
