And to think, all I've *ever* needed is a text based editor. Can anyone provide *one* good reason why you would need anything more than vim (vi)? I'm not trying to be smart here, I just never have used *anything* but vim to edit a file. (and this is vim built only for text mode) Why would I ever need anything else? -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:53:00 up 93 days, 8:17, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.06, 0.20 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
