From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021120 Netscape/7.01 Description of problem: I'm missing a sane editor on the rescue disk. I had to rescue my system and therefore, to edit a config-file. I could only find vi as editor. That's not good. I'm not joe-user, but I really can't figure out a way to use this 'editor'. Please include an easy to use editor, accessible by the command 'edit'. Why make it more difficult than it has to be? You really can't compete on the desktop if you don't address issues like this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start rescue-session 2. Try to edit a conf file 3. Actual Results: I can't because I really can't figure out how to use vi. Expected Results: An included simple editor Additional info:
