Thanks hawhill. You taught me something today. And obviously thanks geekmaster.

Well if I want to change my PATH, I'd suppose I have to add the path at the beginning, eg. like this:
Code:
/mnt/us/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
And by doing this, at boot time bash will kick in instead of busybox. And your proposed problem will still exist. Am I wrong?

EDIT: I'm asking because I don't want to do any harm to my only Kindle again.
