Consider adding vi #361

Closed dotdash70 closed 2 years ago

I'm old school and tend to turn to vi as as an editor. Current builds are missing vi (at least 7.0 G160)

vim-tiny has a fairly small footprint (maybe 3 mb) I'm currently doing this: sudo pkg install vim-tiny sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/vim /usr/local/bin/vi

Thanks for your suggestion, however we must manage some tradeoffs. As we are trying to minimize the footprint of the Live ISO, vim will need to be installed using pkg install. The assumption is that the vast majority of our user base will never open the Terminal, and those who do know how to install additional command line tools.
