Re: [Testbed-admins] Problem with TERMCAP in MFS image

[Ben Burnett <bburnett@atcorp.com>]

We did make customizations to the MFS images on boss directly (mounted
on bossthen edited...)

but to customize the full images the instructions say to imageunzip
onto a test node with the admin MFS then edit files on the testnode.
That is where I'm having problems.   are there any editors loaded in
the MFS image?  I assume if vi isn't there not much else is.
