Hi folks.
Finnix comes with nvi as vi compatible editor. If this is for a matter
of size, why not to replace it with vim-tiny? In Etch it has already
replaced nvi as default vi clone. We will gain part of the vim's power
and a more friendly behaviour.
I appreciate very much that it was decided to add ddrescue to the next
Finnix release. I was about to asking for its inclusion...
Finally, i would like to thank Ryan for this well-done live cd.
I was searching for a valid and small debian-based replacement for
Knoppix, (now only released as DVD image!), and Finnix seems to be the
one. I discovered it very recently and i like it very much as
administration and recovery tool, in particular for the astonishing fast
boot time and small size. It seems to have all the power of Knoppix in
only 100 MB, without all the graphical software i've never used.
Thanks for you work, Ryan.
Cesare.
