This needs the linux emulation.  Be sure you have it installed and
running.

This is done with .xinitrc.. if you have one, remove the window
manager in it, if not, save this to .xinitrc in your home directory..

#!/bin/sh

No idea what you're talking about here.

You can make bash your default shell a few ways.  One is by running
vipw as root and changing the shell there, or you can run chfn as the
user and change it there.  Make sure /usr/local/bin/bash is in your
/etc/shells file.
