Hello, all!
I would like to change the default editor used by the lrcfg menu to nano. I have the lrps setup correctly, but I cannot seem to find the proper config file to make the change. Does anyone have experience with this?

Take a look at /bin/edit, the default editor used by the lrcfg menu.
You're supposed to be able to set the EDITOR environemnt variable to select your preferred editor, but it looks like /bin/edit doesn't pay attention to any pre-existing value for this variable.
You can either:
- Hack /bin/edit to launch your editor of choice
- Fix /bin/edit to use a pre-existing EDITOR variable and set up your preference elsewhere (ie: /etc/profile, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc (for bash users), etc). The fix to /bin/edit is a simple one, just change:
# Set editor to use: EDITOR=/bin/e3ne
# Launch the desired editor: eval $EDITOR "$@"
...to...
# Launch the desired editor, or e3ne if undefined: eval ${EDITOR:-/bin/e3ne} "$@"
Which will default ot /bin/e3ne if EDITOR isn't defined...
