I am new on Solaris 10. I am using putty to connect to it. I am more used to linux. I am trying to do somethings in Solaris like backspace, upkey to previous commands executed. some posts suggest that i use Bash. well I dont know how to switch from ksh to bash.
another issue is that i am used to have the whole path on my cmd prompt but here i only have $
How can I change this for me. I want to use the up arrow key to view my old commands, I want TAB to give me th directories or files in the working directory and I want to see the whole path of the PWD i am in.
Is there a way
Thanks for the help

This should be enough:
PS1='\w $ ' exec bash --noprofile --rcfile /dev/null
Here is what this command is doing:
PS1='\w $ '
: set the prompt to show your current directoryexec bash
: substitute the currently running shell by bash--noprofile --rcfile /dev/null
: suppress predefined customizations
