Because my good ol' 486 sitting under the bed acting as a router/firewall has the minimum installed on it. There are times when I want to surf the web to get documentation or such from that machine (or for that machine,) and Xwindows/Netscape just dosen't cut it. (Not that it's installed there anyways.) As for VI... well it's on every other Unix system. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
