Neither vi nor vim included in VL64 7.2 a03.2

Issue #82 resolved
Caitlyn Martin created an issue

Neither vi nor vim are included in the base install. visudo hangs if run from the command line since it isn't linked to a valid editor.

    Try this again in A0.3.4 The default environment was modified to set a default editor. Vi can be installed later from the repos.

    With due respect, vi, IMHO, should be a core package, part of the base install. I will try 3.4, of course.

    <p dir="ltr">Adding it is no problem at all.  The idea behind shipping nano by default is that it is easier for noobs to use nano than vi.  But we can certainly have both if desired</p>

    Since vi and vim are displayed as default editors when opening terminal, it should be included.

    In Alpha 3.5, it looks as if it's included now.
