Your cats getting you down? :-) [ you are right of course, but this wasn't up to your usual tactful rebuff standards.. :-) ] > Jordan Umm.. I have a suggestion.. Since every possible distrinution choice from "minimal" through "full" will have /mnt/usr/bin/vi and /mnt/usr/bin/ee at the point then the /etc/exports editor is launched (ie: at the end of the install), how about drop ee, and *possibly* vi off the boot floppy (unless it's on the root floppy, of course.. :-), and ask the user which editor they want to run? I mean, for the Unix purists, you can let them use ed, because "ed(1) is the STANDARD editor, the one true editor, etc etc.." :-) Just an idea.... -Peter
