I have just a curiosity. I personally use nano without any problem, but I understand anyone has his preferences as it comes to editors. Now, many editors like vi and joe are very lightweight, so I don't think that adding them to the LiveCDs would be such a space waste. It's true that anyone can emerge his preferred editor right after stage1 install. On one side I really don't understand people requesting editor xyz to be present on CDs, considering they will have to use nanoonly two or three times before having the opportunity to emerge their preferred editor. On the other side I don't see such a blasphemy in requesting the presence of other editors (minimal versions of vi, (maybe) joe, emacs) keeping nano as the reference editor in installation instructions. Just my two cents. -- Arturo di Gioia web: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~digioia/ PGP public key: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~digioia/files/adg_gpg_pub.asc Registered Linux user #230853 (http://counter.li.org).
