PLEASE, refrain from non-standard installation suggestions.  PLEASE,
DON'T copy /bin/bash to /bin/sh.  It'll only serve to cause you grief
someday when you update and ash has a new version and now your scripts
won't work anymore.  There are other reasons for having the default sh
== ash, the main one of which is speed of execution of scripts and that
includes make scripts.
