Well it sounds mostly historical to me, and jed is also larger than vi. I would not see a rescue with jed but without vi, all people used to unix would not like that. And the rescue is not supposed to be run by newbies, especially since I've added a graphical user interface for most common operations. > Secondly, can the rescue disc please include cfdisk instead (or in addition to) > fdisk?

I've never tried cfdisk but I think fdisk is widely known to people who often have to manipulate partitions. > Thirdly, would it be possible to make the rescue disc and installation kernels > to automatically detect software RAID from superblocks?

For the rescue, maybe in the future... it needs that someone with enough motivation hacks in installer changes in the rescue :-). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
