This sounds like a great arguement to use any editor other than vi for
anything. In order to protect new users from the evils of vi, lets
replace vi with a script that echos:
"The use of vi can cause learning disabilties, as though you had a stroke"
If you can't figure out how to use ae (in a not vi emulation mode), are
you sure you want to install Linux on your own? As far as a recovery disk
goes, you are much better off with a real recovery disk. The boot disk
is severely crippled when compared to other recovery disks that are
readily available.
