I see messages regarding bash as the new default shell, but I don't know if this means "as of 10.3" or for everyone (I'm using 10.2.8).
I think that I should use bash now since I will sooner or later, but I don't know. Does whatever the motivating factor was for moving to bash as a default apply to everyone or are there caveats for older systems?
Thanks a mucho,
Robert
I'm not sure why Apple switched to bash. All the bash-related stuff on the Fink pages applies to both 10.2.x and 10.3.x, in any case.
If you upgrade from 10.2.x to 10 3.x current user accounts will keep whatever default shell they had, so if you don't want to switch you don't have to.

Alexander,
You are correct. I have installed perl560-core and am now installing irssi (at home). I will post another message if I find out this failed too.
Thanks,
Robert
