If vi would fit on the rescue disk, do you think we would be discussing
ae?
To be able to do an install with the rescue disk the space priorities
don't allow anything but ae in that environment. When you can get vi's
binary size down to the footprint of ae, I will be glad to replace it.
Until then all talk of superior usability are nothing but talk. It will
not fit.
