"edit" is one of the 6 the personalities of "vi". The other 4 are "ex",
"e", "vedit", and "view". "edit" is line-based, while "vi" is
screen-based.

Thanks Chuck, I appreciate your help.

I have another problem now (clean install of HP-UX11.0 - on a 715/100 -
using LVM with Vxfs).
I had the same problem that Volker Preil had in April 2002
<snip>
booting hangs in HP-ux startup process.
configure lan interfaces FAIL
nfs core ok
nis server ok
nis client ok
and then hangs at start nfs client subsystem
</snip>
So I set all the nfs_parameters in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf to zero
which solved the hang up problem.

I still have the LAN interface problem but I know its to do with the IP
address mask being set to 255.255.255.0 with a class A IP address.
I think I can solve this one either with a patch or with NDD and nddconf
??

However, now when I boot up, the system cycles on trying to start CDE.
I get the screen with the X symbol and then it returns to the command
line screen.
Looking in /var/dt/Xerrors shows server start up errors -

<snip>
Error (PID xxxx): server open attempt #x failed for "hostname" giving
up.
</snip>

I imagine this is the X font server failing to start up??

cp -p /usr/dt/config/Xsetup /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
echo '/usr/bin/X11/xset fp+ tcp/$(getip $(hostname)):7000' >> \
/etc/dt/config/Xsetup

Do you think this could be the solution to my problem with CDE.

TIA
