Dear community
I have copied the 'install75.img' to a USB stick, booted from it and
chosen the "(I)nstall" option. My intention is to install the
distribution sets from the stick, and not via http, because I'd like to
install OpenBSD on our 4 home office PCs without downloading the sets 4
times.
Edit: I have just found in Michael W. Lucas' "OpenBSD Mastery:
Filesystems" that "the rd recovery disk image is the OpenBSD install
environment", not the USB stick. But my question (see below) remains the
same.

Many thanks for your tips! I have tried these steps before asking for
help, but without success.
Then, on reading your mails, it occurred to me I could try one of the
back USB ports of my PC instead of the front ones. And bingo, the USB

Dear friends
OpenBSD 7.5: In my vi, German umlauts (diaeresis) are displayed as
follows:
Ä: \xc3\x84

Ö: \xc3\x96
ö: \xc3\xb6
Ü: \xc3\x9c
ü: \xc3\xbc
These strings appear to consist of 2 character groups, as pressing `x`
2 times deletes the complete string.

What vi(1) displays there are (the hex equivalents of) UTF-8 code
units.
Whenever old vi(1) Can't Even, it will barf hex, but treat each

Regarding the OP's specific question - if the files being edited only

The -r and -e options are device properties, so they must precede the

I have observed the e-mail addresses of the misc@ contributors are

be a privacy hasard.
Do you recommend using a separate, dedicated e-mail address for
