Quoting "DePriest, Jason R.
Ok, though I do not remember it being under editors and I specifically checked
It has things like nedit, I think also mc, but no vi. Anyway,
I noticed also installed X programs do not run, like when I do
startxwin
(you get a white console, means X is running)
then something like xmgrace(which I did select for installation)
or grace
and there is no complaint like it cannot find the app, as I got for vi
but nothing happens.
