is it really *that* bad?
mv -v /usr/bin/vim /bin/vim.real
cat >/bin/vim <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
[ -d /usr/share/vim ] &&
exec vim.real "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
exec vim.real -Nu NONE "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
# EOF
EOF
ln -sfv vim /bin/vi
Just tried it on my system and seems to be OK. I don't notice any vim
startup slowdown. I also thought about having it as a function in
.bashrc, but since one can boot with init=bin/bash, he won't get the
proper setup...
About elvis... I prefer vim and if you really want to have a
minimalistic vim, install it twice -- once with full feature set and
once only with minimal. We can even make it so `vi` != `vim`...
