all *nix OS use VI as thier default (and incredibly useful/powerful) editor

the others are addons and might not be there...but VI always is

What bootloader do you use??

Also from the graphical desktop (to kill X) just hit cntl-backspace

then type xsetup.sh to change

if i let X load it corrupts the screen so when i return to text mode i just get garbage. I have hit ctrl C just after logging on and have tried running xsetup with no effect.
I can see the desktop in X but its horrible and using about 4 colors. The mouse also leaves a square trail accross the screen.
I Have tried both grub and lilo with no luck. Although lilo geve me the penguin in the corner when i set vga to the proper setting, but the bottom of the screen was missing(as if there were too many lines)
Im afraid im close to giving up and putting the horrid win98 back on it :( which is a shame.
It would be great if someone could make a boot disk that detects,mounts and runs the linux cd, for those of us whoose cdroms dont boot. As it is i have to take the hard disk out, goto a friends and mount it via an adaptor in his desktop to use the CD to install it.
