I've been trying to make ned work on Debian, and it's a royal pain. Ned's licensing prevents it from being stuck on someone else's distribution anyway, and the license manager piece requires you have a working network, so it's not useful for initial installs.
It obviously WOULD be useful to have a 3270-aware screen editor that you could throw onto an initrd and have available during the initial Linux install, as well as for those times the network is broken. For that reason, it would have to be very small, and it doesn't have to be very capable, since it's basically an emergency rescue editor. So what I was thinking was that TEDIT (came with OS/2) was pretty much the right model. Did IBM ever publish the source code to it? If not, does anyone know of another very, very small editor with fairly modular display code, that might not be too hard to port to Linux/390 using the 3270 as its display device?
