1. I think we have other problems that are far more important than this. The default editor in base should be something that works good enough to let you edit some config files. Elvis can do that just fine. 2. I hate all vim style editors anyway so the less space they take the better. I just install mc as soon as I can and use mcedit. In the end I guess either is fine for me but let's not drag this on too much, it seems silly to me. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
