Where can I get Pico for RedHat 4.4.4 ?


Where and how can I get Pico for Red Hat 4.4.4-13 ?
I tried
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/9/en/...44-18.i386.rpm
No such file.
Same with pine-4.44-13.i386.rpm.

I need pico or anything similar to Pico,
NOT vi or vi style.

Give nano a look. It is a simple test editor, has commands listed at the bottom of the page.

I use nano, which is a pico clone and alpine, which is the pine replacement. I believe nano is included in RHEL 4.4. Not sure about alpine.

EDIT: It looks like pico is part of the official alpine package from UW's website.

That link points at RH9; hasn't been supported for years. Are you sure that's what you meant?

No, that is not really what I want, it is simply the closest I got to what I need.
I am used to Pico on no-frills CENTOS, but my Linux experience is limited to using pico for setting up/managing users and for fixing typos and styles on web pages. Plus picking up the odd helpful trick from a forum. I never had the privilege of any formal training or course, so please go slow and easy!
Now I have to do some stuff on somebody's new RedHat, but without Pico I am handicapped.
If you can tell me where and how to get Pico or Nano, I really would appreciate it.
Thanks!

red hat nano is in the rhn repo
RHEL 5 and up ( and yum can be installed in 4.8 )
Code:
yum install nano
but for rhel4.4 -- that is before my time

don't let the size of the download fool you
it has versions for 32bit linux and windows,64bit linux and windows,BSD,dos and the source code in assembly and C
the 64bit linux version I'm using is 17064 bytes in size it's written in assembly so it's a full feature editor

Got it and installed it. Works fine. Now I just have to train my fingers to type nano instead of pico. ;-)
Thanks again for all your help!
