The only reason to need an editor and not have /usr and /var available is to edit /etc/fstab. It is trivial to spot errors with /rescue/cat and fix with /rescue/sed, without having to worry about a terminal. In all other cases: fsck -p /etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal start /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start And one can use any editor one would want. Don't forget to export or setenv TERM to cons25 from 'dumb'. -- Mel
