I'd like to see nvi replace vim in the livecd/install cd's. nvi is the vi clone used in the BSD systems by default, and looking at a NetBSD install it comes in around 272 Kb. It supports all the basic vi features and would save a significant amount of space. I'd also like to see this in the stages as well so that it is available inside the chroot, where most of the editing is done anyway. > Plus in that extra space put a small emacs work-alike like qemacs. > I don't use emacs but I always assumed that since we had Vi on the cd that > Emacs was on the cd as well. It'd be good to have at least the the two most > common editors on the cd or at least work-alikes. I don't think this should be included, at least not in the basic install cd's. Let's try to get this back closer to the 16 megs it used to be. -- Matt Rickard frogger@gentoo.org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
