Package: mondo
Version: 2.20-1.1
Severity: normal
Andree,
At least with Grub (I no longer run lilo and I did not try that) one
is forced to use 'vi' as the fstab and grub editor, it is harcoded in
mondo-rstr-tools.c #1630.
Instead 'find_my_editor()' should be used, so that when a user uses
'vi' (has it installed) he/she gets that and when a user does not (my
case) one gets nano.
It would seem unnecessary to have to learn 'vi' just because one uses
mondo as a backup tool.
Regards,
Hugo Vanwoerkom
