:split and friends are not features of the standard vi, therefore they aren't in vim-minimal. Use vim-enhanced and they'll do just what you expect. A very useful command is "alias vi=vim" Ack! You've got to be kidding! Why the change? Under RH7.0, /bin/vi is a nice, tiny editor (360K) that includes features like :split and friends. Now, I have to use that mammoth /usr/bin/vim at a whopping 1.8M or something ridiculous? <sigh> Not to mention having to remember to install it (apparently wasn't installed by default on the install I did). Frankly, that sucks. |
