Please: could we have an option in the setup skript
to let the user CHOOSE which editor to use?
I do not like the idea of changing to the mc-editor silently
because most of the power users (those who allready *know* Linux)
would probably prefer the vi.
Also remember that muLinux was originally designed for training purpose
and in my (humble) opinion 'learning Linux' or Unix /ought/ to mean
also 'learning the vi editor' cause this editor is present on all the
Unix systems allover the world... and using the excelent vi-tutorial
that comes with muLinux it's easy to learn! :-)
~ I agree on that, before I learned vi, I alway use mc-edit or xwindows
editor.
~once you are used to it , it's eay.
