What is the default text editor in Repair Mode?

[tamws]

Hi I'm a new PowerVPS customer.

Maybe a stupid question, but what is the default editor in the repair mode?
I tried joe, nano, pico all seems to be not there.

Oh! I don't really want to use vi...!

Did vi work?

Yes vi works, but I'm not familiar with it so in rescue mode it really can slow me down.

I found that the rescue enviornment has rpm and can temporary allow me to install the joe editor to it! Oh great, I'll leave the joe editor rpm in the VPS then. :D

I also forgot I can actually chroot to the /repair partition (if it isn't getting that bad), so there is no problem for me now.

Regarding VI... here's a link that has a couple good sources on it for learning more about using the program. :)
