Hi Jarry, |
| 32 |
This was discussed awhile back. Check the archives for the complete |
| 33 |
thread. It was maybe a month ago. |

You won't cause any problems by removing nano although you won't be |
| 36 |
able to edit if that's the only editor on your system. I've done |
| 37 |
emerge -C nano for awhile. seen the same message when removing it, and |
| 38 |
then after that no problems. |
