Re: Installation does not complain, but no vi

Any ideas what could be wrong when you install cygwin and can even do startxwin to start an x-server, but you have no vi although you have cat, ls ,... etc?




You didn't install the vim package?


vi is not installed by default; you'll have to select it in setup.

It is under Editors as 'vim: Vi IMproved'.  If you have X installed,
you may want gvim, as well.

If you install vim, you will get a symlink for vi pointing to vim.
