It's fine with me if nano-tiny is the default /bin editor, but I wouldn't care to use it myself. Thanks to this thread, I now know that elvis-tiny goes in /bin, so I've installed that as my /bin editor. If something in /etc/alternatives is set up for "default root editor", I think both nano-tiny and elvis-tiny should be set up for that, with nano-tiny as the default. Craig
