All I wanted was a vi that works without /usr, and doesn't complain about it. And that's how it turned out. There's no need to install two copies. It should be fully functional as long as /usr/share/vim exists, and functional enough to work even without /usr. This is perfect I think. It adds 1.6MB to /, but that's not bad considering / is 247MB total. It's less than a 1% increase for a fairly important thing to have in /. I'm going to post lfs-dev about it. robert
