Currently, /rescue/vi is useless if a termcap > file is not available (as in /usr is hosed). This topic comes up about every 3 months. ncurses can be compiled to have embedded terminal descriptions.

Of course another choice is to change the editor (though stating that it has support for cons25 and xterm sounds suspicious, since they do differ). --=20 Thomas E.
