David, - From /etc/etc-update.conf: <snip> # vim-users: you CAN use vimdiff for diff_command. (see NOTE_1) #diff_command="vim -d %file1 %file2" #using_editor=1 diff_command="colordiff -uN %file1 %file2" using_editor=0 # vim-users: don't use vimdiff for merging (see NOTE_1) merge_command="sdiff -s -o %merged %orig %new" </snip> You can see here that you *CAN* use vimdiff, I personally use colordiff which you can see above.
