Pine and pico are not available for legal reasons.

If you like pico, you should be happy with nano as an editor. (Nano drove me up a wall when it was installed as the default editor, had word-wrap enabled, and I needed to edit /etc/apt/sources.list .) Further discussion of alternatives should go on debian-user. Legal discussions should go on debian-legal. You can look up the discussion of pine in the archives of debian-legal. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html "Text is a way we cheat time." -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
