Not true on a very old computer (especially USB) On choice of text editor, I prefer vi, but that might be uncomfortable for users completely unfamiliar with vi: this includes many MS-Windows users as well as users coming from DOS. NetBSD uses ed on installation ramdisk, which leaves me completely floored. vi is heaven compared to ed. IBM had a Tiny Editor, not open-source, dating to 1993, .EXE about 10000 bytes: this was for DOS and 16-bit OS/2 (OS/2 1.x was 16-bit, became 32-bit with v2.0). This was used on OS/2 installation floppies.
