On my systems, I set nano to be the default editor. Is this something that can be done with some sort of configuration script? I don't find anything like system-switch-mail for editors. I do it in my kickstart files, but it can easily be done from a command line. Since nano is only useful to people using the command line, I think it completely appropriate... Is a document describing this short process desirable to have on the wiki? yum install -y nano echo "set nowrap" >>/etc/nanorc cat <<EOF >>/etc/profile.d/nano.sh export VISUAL="nano" export EDITOR="nano" EOF
