It is not in the stages, and isn't available while in chroot. Personally, I HATE nano, but I think if we're going to have an editor on the CD by default, we should pick one and stick with it rather than trying to meet the needs of every user's desire. After all, what's next? "I hate nano and vim, someone put emacs on the Live CD." I honestly think we need to differentiate the "install" CD from the "Live" CD. The installation CD should be as minimal as possible and able to fit on other media easily (such as USB pen drives). --=20 Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux --=-BBWxRwhbksqRhgegzDu5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/Q5kckT4lNIS36YERAmwMAJ9OTglQKjbdeQ3qkORpzihdyVyoCACgpizT A+IgEJ8zu1yw/HE/FJrtRSU= =P1kH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-BBWxRwhbksqRhgegzDu5--
