I didn't realize that MS Edit, which I think is a good replacement for vi, is just pico. Now if only SuSE/Novell would put it on the installation DVD rescue system ...
Use your own system (which is possible 99% of the time)
1) boot the rescue system 2) login as root (no password) 3) mount /dev/hda? /mnt (mount your root partition) 4) chroot /mnt
And you can use pico to your hearts content if it was installed.
So what's the problem?
Maybe my hard drive is on life support!! Actually, whenever I can I mount the root partition, just as you recommend, and use Emacs. Paul
