"ash" is often secret code for "busybox sh". In this specific case, I'm not sure *what* it is. I googled a few things and came up with this page: http://wikka.puppylinux.com/Ash It says: Ash is a shell or command line interpreter. It acts as a cut down version of Bash with less commands. Puppy uses the Ash shell up to v 1.0.2 I'm not sure whether that's version 1.0.2 of this "ash" (whatever it is), or of Puppy Linux. > That is, not a bash problem at all. Quite. "Hi, I broke my OS, and I don't know how to fix it, and I don't know how to contact my OS vendor's support, so I'll just file a bug against a random shell instead! Even though it's not the shell I'm using!"
