And I forgot to reply about this: the current default editor is Nano,
which has been broken for years, and still is. There was a vote years
ago to remove vi from the image (despite it being required by POSIX) and
ship with Nano as the default editor). It seems no one uses it (or
everyone lives with the bugs, which I would find surprising). If no one
actually uses Nano, I would suggest we switch to vi or Pe (with lpe),
both of which work fine.

I think the story was that Vim takes 10MB we needed to fit on a CD,
while Nano makes it in 350KB... Pe isn't a command line editor, or is
it?

Bye,
