ewwww...!! emacs!! urgh... it's so big and kludged ! :-)
i use vi myself. but i guess pico is a good choice. it's nice and easy to
use.
so i gues the list of editors could be ed, vi , ex, and pico.
please remember that the rescue _is_ a minimal distro, which is only for
getting your system back up. it is not a distro for daily use!! so i
wouldn't dream if adding more editors than necessary..
