4 Well, the subject says it all .. we have no editor in the / mount point
5 if /usr is not present.. (like my case)
6
7 while booting a 2.5.x kernel, i was unable to mount /opt, /usr, /home,
8 /var/tmp, etc..etc.etc... since they were all in lvm. and this also
9 happened once when for no apparent reason my boot sequence got messed up
10 and everything aborted...
11 in such cases the need for a text editor is urged.. normally correcting
12 the situation might depend on it...
13 so..i think we(gentoo) should have a minimal editor in / in case that
14 something goes wrong, some editor like e3, nano, vi, joe, I dunno,
15 something that can edit files and preferably small..
16 I vote for e3 since is minimal and has several key bindings.
