You propably want to strip that bugger down to its bones; they weight in
at around 2Mb including the un-db-ed version.
So for floppy/flashcard systems I do:

When using VI in such a situation I usually also use rc.diskless2 to create myself an environment with thing like /tmp|/var in mfs for tmp, cuuu0 lock files and the lot. Dw.

Alt key support requires you to modify yur syscons keymappings to send ALT-keypresses as ESC + key. If you don't want to do that, just hit ESC before your alt-key. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

I'm glad to hear that's wrong. One major problem is that without /usr, you have no termcap file. You might want to install e3, which is only 13k statically linked and uses generic ANSI escape codes so it doesn't need a termcap file. If run as e3vi, it acceptes vi keystrokes. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

It is really impossible to build a vi with no external dependencies that can be installed in /bin? What made you think it was impossible? The book "FreeBSD" by Anderson (which was highly recommended by some) says so on page 371. I'm glad to hear that's wrong.
