Great. vim is already installed so I'll can do an emerge -C vi from the command line and then just edit /var/lib/portage/world by hand to remove the vi line? Currently in world: app-editors/vi app-editors/vim Currently on the system already: flash ~ # emerge -pv vim These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
