This just indicates a conspiracy of vi users. Or, more likely, vi users complained that emacs was in the default. Emacs users aren't bothered by having vi around. Interestingly, looking at the Red Hat RPMs, a full emacs install is only 2X the size of a full vim install. The main difference is that a minimal vim install is very small because it doesn't need vim-common, but no one's done the work to get emacs-nox to run sans emacs-common. Either way, it's a tiny fraction of a DVD, so you can look forward to full emacs on your rescue disk soon. Assuming the conspirators and complainers don't have their way. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
