I am not so sure that you need to go that far to get the same functionality. I'm also not sure how you got 'nvi' installed in Etch. I'm on a lenny system, and I have 'vim basic' installed (which does seem to lack the mouse pointer facilities, but I don't normally try and use vi(m) with a mouse). And, /etc/alternatives/vi on this Lenny install is a symlink to /usr/bin/vim.basic. Now, it seems to me (although untested) that if you were to install vim.full, you would then have the setups needed for your /etc/alternatives to point to the desired flavor of vi you want. One would also think that if it didn't do that (expected) behavior, then it might be a packaging bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
