I understand the issue, but why are you using a 2.5GB dvd when you can use the 140MB cd that is designed for "quick installs"?

Short answer: livecd ~ # vi -bash: vi: command not found That's a serious inconvenience (all I need is nvi, not even vim!), but I also understand that if you're trying to make a small, lean, install CD, you can't have everyone's favorite editor. When I'm doing testing (what I'd do with a LiveCD other than a system build), there were a few other utilities that I cannot recall offhand that are not on the install CD iso. After looking at the install media again, I'll probably struggle along with nano until I can figure out how to make my own LiveCD. It would be nice, though, to be able to use what is already there without the need to reinvent the wheel. (In reply to comment #2) > Short answer: > > livecd ~ # vi > -bash: vi: command not found Off topic, I apologize. Is "busybox vi" not an option? try latest livedvd, also see comment #3 for livecd usage of vi. |
