A bunch of packages including app-editors/vim provide vi (as well as vim in that case)... And the kernel doesn't provide any editors. Don't really get why anyone would want vi over vim. Vi really lacks some important features... -- Bo Andresen pgp6ZZPSJNSB7.pgp Description: PGP signature

All I can think is that Vim is larger than Vi and on tiny little systems it could make a difference. I am not sure why the OP is looking for Vi. -- Regards, Mick pgphBEGorId5X.pgp Description: PGP signature
