In theory I agree. Still... What bugs me with vim-minimal on Fedora is usually that it's lacking basic vim functionality, even if it does not rely on external packages. I'm not quite sure if I remember correctly, but in the past I think I even had problems with color settings for syntax decoration, which forced me to use the vim-enhanced package. And I'm really not using any complicated stuff, like text folding or so... So my question is, is vim-minimal at least more or less feature complete as far as the feature doesn't require external dependencies? Apart from that, yes, vim-minimal should be a Base package, finally ;) Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
