i've been running minix on two old computers for a few weeks now, and i've 
decided to find a shell with a bit more functionality than ash.  korn is my 
shell of choice when running linux/unix, but that doesn't mean too much... 
anyhow, i found ksh ported to minix, but a) it looks big and b) has a makefile 
in some hybrid format that i don't know what to do with.

my questions:
1) has anybody installed minix ksh (i got my copy from ftp.uni-bielefeld.de) 
that can tell me how to deal with the c-cum-script makefile it has?
2) can anyone reccomend a _small_ shell (to go on the smaller (640K 286) of 
the two) that is a bit more functional and facilitating than the minix sh?
