I agree with this. I'd like to see nvi replace vim in the livecd/install |
| 6 |
cd's. nvi is the vi clone used in the BSD systems by default, and looking at |
| 7 |
a NetBSD install it comes in around 272 Kb. It supports all the basic vi |
| 8 |
features and would save a significant amount of space. |

I'd also like to see this in the stages as well so that it is available inside |
| 11 |
the chroot, where most of the editing is done anyway. |

I don't think this should be included, at least not in the basic install cd's. |

Let's try to get this back closer to the 16 megs it used to be. |
