attempting an arch install, vi is not available, but nano is?
during the install process
Well it's not BSD :p
There is no such thing as "base" ;D
I was always under the impression that vi would be present on any *nix box I would ever encounter
If you have busybox you might be able to invoke "busybox vi". I don't know if that would be available in an arch install environment but worth a shot
meingtsla: will try that
i thought vi was available
zsh sure is
it may be vim or may not be vim, i can't recall :
meingtsla: busybox vi is really terrible.
i would have remembered if it was that bad.
This is true
since when does zshell autocorrect commands?
since forever?
it depends on your config
Arch uses grml's zsh config in their installer
http://grml.org/zsh/
And coincidentally, it's what I use personally now too. Arch's zsh got me to switch away from bash after a long, long time.
