Installing 4 joe desktop files for every isn't the best user experience ever so I'll likely remove it from the patterns if it keeps the desktop files but I don't really mind which or have an opinion on which solution would be better so I thought i'd open it up for discussion.
I prefer the wordstar version of joe and have used it for years.
The reason it installs 4 desktop files, is because it also installs ones for the Wordstar, Nano and Emacs versions.
I personally like the desktop files for command-line applications, I find it much more user-friendly and accessible, so I'd rather remove joe from patterns, also as I never used it. ;)
Boot the installation DVD, and ask for the rescue system. What editor do you see there? joe
Why not nano?
That's the Alpine editor in standalone mode, I believe. I can work with that in a need, but joe, in its Word Star (or Borland´s "Turbo" languages) emulation mode is familiar to many MsDOS/Windows people, and it can emulate pico, emacs, and Word Star - thus can be familiar to more people. There is also mcedit, which is very simple to use although not powerful, and comes with 'mc' package - a very useful thing to have when forced to use text mode. I would love to see this package in the rescue images and emergency modes (initrd). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
