you misunderstand what i meant. i'm not suggesting elvis-tiny in place
of ae. i'm suggesting it in place of ae's crappy vi emulation mode.
i don't care at all if ae is on the boot disks or not...i'd just like to
see a decent vi as well because it's something that always gets me when
i'm building a new system (usually when editing /etc/fstab).
*i* know it's not really vi. but my fingers don't. hail eris!
