I'm also using it regularly: % echo $EDITOR mcedit No problems so far. The only exception: The editor is not available when starting in SUM, and /usr (and therefor /usr/local) is not mounted. In such a situation where mcedit cannot be made available, /rescue/vi (residing on the / partition) is the best choice if you urgently need to edit something. The vi editor even works when terminal capabilities are not "sufficiently" provided. > I don't like vi and similar > editors. You don't need to like vi, but you should know the most basic actions to use this editor in _worst case_. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
