Bash? You do know how complex Bash is? Most shells require the C standard library, so you'll have to port newlib to your OS. And before you get your hopes up about that, have you implemented a file system driver, a program loader, paging?

If the Bash is very complex like you said,Why does the linux 0.11 can run the bash. I don't think the linux 0.11 is very complex

I asked if you have the following:
- A file system driver - so you can load bash from disk.
- A program loader - which will convert what's on disk into a valid program image in memory.
- A paging and multitasking system - not required, but I'm guessing you want bash to execute programs?
- A port of C standard library to your OS - so bash will compile and and run on your system.

I agree Linux 0.11 isn't very complex, but it still includes all the above features.
