The keybindings of the ae-editor are very problematic when installing
Debian on Sun-hardware via serial-console. A simple vi would do much
better. Could ae be replaced with vi (or at least configured to use
a vi-keybinding) for Debian/Sparc? One can safely assume that people
running Debian on Sparc are familiar with vi. On the other hand, it's
more than just a bit problematic to send wild Ctrl-Meta-Whatevers
through a Terminal-program like minicom.
Distribution is potato and others as well.
Cheers
Peter

No, this would be worse.

Sorry, it's not going to be changed at this point for Potato.
For woody we use nano-tiny. Closing this bug.
