Hi Matthew, I checked the guide and found no information hopw to install
from the tar file, which is really faster and a lot easier. Can you add
them?
You have to untar it and then recreate the device files, in short, rm /dev/*
ln -s ../sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV, and cd /, ./native-install.
This is instead step three and five.
Also, please link the install files from alpha, so they are always up to
date.

This is plain wrong. /bin/vi is still broken.

shorter: export TERM=mach, or even TERM=mach.
