For getting the size of the stage1 down, how about getting rid of the editor entirely?
vim/nano are on the LiveCD. The only stage1 item that an editor is needed for (according the install document) is to edit make.conf, which can easily be done from the LiveCD environment. It could simply be move to be in stage3's only (brought in by emerge system). -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
