I just rooted my Kindle Fire and installed QuickSSHd, an SSH daemon app.

I can log in via SSH (using Putty in Windows 7) and become root, etc. It appears, however, that the only shell installed is sh which lacks many of the niceties of other shells like Bash.

So, is it possible to install Bash (or a Bash-like shell with more features than sh) on a Kindle Fire?

Looks like CM has bash, so you could flash it :P or maybe grab the binary and try it. – Matthew Read♦ Mar 17 '12 at 3:29
