Dash is Herberts fork of ash, a full POSIX compliant interactive shell. Ash is bigger, does not have builtins for mount, mknod, pivot_root, pivot_root, all these things that Herbert replaced with ugly shell scripts inside of the initrd or with external programs that need the libs and possible some other large libraries. I plan to extend it with modutils code, so we would have the most minimalistis shell-code interpreter suitable for initrd.
