I know how to install nano, sir. To be fair, your OS is a resources hog. This small VM I'm setup only has 4 cores 4 GB of RAM.
Without limiting the ZFS Maximum ARC Cache in /etc/system, any attempts to use pkg will fail. It could be stuck for eternity if me don't intervene with Ctrl+C. Or it will run for a while but fail because not enough memory. To be able to use this VM comfortably, I have to assign 8 GB of swap and limit arc cache size to 512 MB maximum. I can't deal with vi at all. Not the modern VIM let alone your old vi. Without nano, I can't do text editing. Yes, vi is historically part of any Unix. But at least, on FreeBSD, they have a fallback, the ee editor, included by default. It's basically what I'm asking for. ---- On Mon, 11 Jan 2021 15:00:28 +0700 Toomas Soome via oi-dev <[email protected]> wrote ---- > > > > On 11.
