The GNU Bourne Again SHell branch 3.x, tuned for maemo
Bash is a command-line program which may replace your standard command-line shell with a improved, feature-rich interface.
Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh).
This is a special version for the Maemo platform, with everything that is not too useful on a Internet Tablet stripped off.

:) Well, you may use the email as well as write here. I'll get a email notification in any case.
Regarding your problems, I don't think it's bash3 fault. "reboot" works fine for me as well as "init 0", and I have bash installed for years. Regarding PgUp/PgDn, bash3 just uses the readline library, that's all. Key mappings for readline are defined in /etc/inputrc, which in default Nokia distribution is almost empty. You may try adding something like:
"\e[5~": beginning-of-history "\e[6~": end-of-history
to map the keys to something useful, but teaching how to configure libreadline is really out of my scope.
And finally, if you don't like it, just remove the package, it will cleanly uninstall and revert the shell back to the limited /bin/sh. Alternatively, you may revert the shell without uninstalling bash3 by invoking as root:
chsh -s /bin/sh user chsh -s /bin/sh root
"This is a special version for the Maemo platform, with everything that is not too useful on a Internet Tablet stripped off."
You don't say? I can no longer 'reboot' or 'init 0'. I can no longer use PgUp to see older history (it prints a ~ instead). I don't know what else is missing, but I ran the bash-setup script so now I'm afraid to switch back.
And the only way to report bugs is by an e-mail. Then how is the community supposed to see what has already been reported? Not impressed.
