Description of Problem: ash is not compiled with history, so "fc" commands don't work. command line editing, arrow keys fail, and edit modes fail. In emacs mode ^A doesn't got start of line. This is all in console mode, non X. How Reproducible: Happens whenever I execute ash -E -i Steps to Reproduce: 1. ash -E -i or ash -V -i (VI mode) 2. enter a long command line 3. try ^A to go to line start, ^K to kill the line Actual Results: Expected Results: Cursor movement, line erase Additional Information: Under screen, backspace doesn't work either.
It's a simple, small shell for scripts, bootdisks etc. I don't want to add anything increasing the size... if you want a fully featured shell, you should use bash or zsh
