Where can I get Pico?

From your install cd's by installing:
Pine

Ok, edit was taking too long, seemed to timeout actually...

Anyway, other choice is:
http://www.washington.edu/pine/

If you just want Pico to use as an editor, nano is a good clone, and it is just an editor.
If you have the joe editor already installed, jpico will bring up joe in pico mode.
The Pine, Pico, Pilot combo is pretty nice though.
I am guessing you just want a simple editor...

where can I get one of those?

Nano should be on your install CD's as well as Joe, however to find ANY applications you can usually go to:
www.freshrpms.net (for RPMS)
OR
www.freshmeat.net (for source and homepages)

I cant find the rpm there, is there ne where else?

Maybe it's just my location or something, but for the search I ran for 'nano' at www.freshmeat.net it was the first one listed:

Ive installed the rpm but how do I get it runnin?

2damncommon · 07-27-2003, 01:11 AM

Just type:
nano
in a terminal. You should use -w (no wordwrap) for editing system files.
nano -w /etc/fstab

SnowSurfAir · 07-27-2003, 01:13 AM

and what do I do if it says nano: command not found?

MasterC · 07-27-2003, 01:18 AM

locate nano
whereis nano
rpm -qa | grep nano
