In all other (z)Linux installations, vi remembered the cursor position on last 
editing session.   In my ClefOS 7.4 install, it always open a session with the 
cursor on line 1.   I've checked /etc/.vimrc and ~/.vimrc.

>From googling this I found that it was possible that a portion of /etc/vimrc 
>was/is commented out:

     14 " Only do this part when compiled with support for autocommands
    15 if has("autocmd")
     16   augroup redhat
     17   autocmd!
     18   " In text files, always limit the width of text to 78 characters
     19   " autocmd BufRead *.txt set tw=78
     20   " When editing a file, always jump to the last cursor position
     21   autocmd BufReadPost *
     22   \ if line("'\"") > 0 && line ("'\"") <= line("$") |
     23   \   exe "normal! g'\"" |
     24   \ endif
     25   " don't write swapfile on most commonly used directories for NFS 
mounts or USB sticks
     26   autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre /media/*,/run/media/*,/mnt/* set 
directory=~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp
     27   " start with spec file template
     28   autocmd BufNewFile *.spec 0r /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/template.spec
     29   augroup END
     30 endif

~/.vimrc:
      1 :set number
      2 :set ignorecase
      3 :set smartcase
      4 :set incsearch

What am I missing?
