or if you only need bash, you could dowload it from the porting centre.

One word of caution -- DO NOT changes the default shell for root in /etc/passwd. The default MUST be /sbin/sh. If you change it to anything else, your system may not boot properly.

If you want to use bash when working as root, login normally and then invoke bash from the # prompt.

# bash
or
# exec bash

Patrick gives a good word of caution. Heed it.

The bash shell linked above does not provide a 100% guarantee you will generate code that works with Linux Bash, but it will help.
