When I first started using Debian I had been using vi for many years, but had never heard of ae. Consequently, it was some time before I found out that there was any editor at all on the rescue disk. Any editor with any keybindings is fine on the rescue disk, as long as it starts up when the user types vi. It probably also should answer to 'ed', 'edit', 'editor', and as many other editor names as we can think of. Put in a splash screen explaining the situation and the user will thank you for the opportunity not to fix config files with cat and grep. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
