Luxembourg, Apr. 7th, 2006 vim 5.8 Will extract into /opt/gnu, uses 16 MB(!) of disk space (compare that with the 150 kB which /usr/ucb/vi uses and ask yourself again if you really need it ;-) When installing essential_gnu and vim 5.8, be sure to install first the GNU package, and _after that_ vim 5.8 You may want to remove /opt/gnu/lib/vim.hlp from vim 3.0 in the essential_gnu package after installing vim 5.8, which comes with its own help files. Usual disclaimers apply. I'm not going to be responsible if one of the packages screws up your machine. Keep in mind this is done at my spare time. The packages work for me and my machine. If you encounter any problems, just drop me a mail but don't expect things to be fixed in a day (if at all). Have a nice day! Martin Etteldorf - etteldor@gmail.com
