Installing FreeBSD 7.0 - Bash

Install bash (If you prefer sh, then you can skip this. But I prefer bash to csh and sh)

• Execute cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
  
• Execute make install clean
  
• Execute chsh

You are now in the VI-editor and you need to perform the task of updating a single line of text. If you're not familiar with VI then you should read this Installing freebsd 7.0 - Using VI

• Move to the line where it says something like: 
  "Shell: /bin/csh"
• Change
  "/bin/csh"
  to
  "/usr/local/bin/bash"
  

Now save and exit. 

You have to logout and login again to get bash.
