Any way to install Nano on 2.3?
-
I feel trapped every time I have to type "vi" or "vim" and then have to fumble for my cheatsheet.
Is there any way to install Nano?Hehe…. Learn it, Live it, Love it :)

nano has been added to the pfsense pkg repo as a package. very likely it'll be available by simple pkg install from 2.3.1 onwards

where do you request packages to be added, I think dnstop would also be a useful tool that could be added..

no clue. you could start a post in the snapshot section

I started a thread asking that pfSense go to a blacklist model rather than this custom whitelist that requires manual effort and review.

nano is available in the package list now, including on 2.3 release. I just added dnstop so that will be available within the next hour or so.

Beautiful, thanks :)
Dyslexia + Vi is not a good combination, heh. -

Perhaps I am missing it. Where is nano in the package list? I don't see it in the GUI of "available packages". I am on 2.3-RELEASE (amd64).

its not in the GUI package list, but it is compiled on the pfSense pkg repo.
it can be installed on console (option 8 ) like:
pkg update pkg install nano -
you will not see it in the gui, it will be available in the pkg install cmd..

@hda:
There is also "ee" besides "vi".
I see a lot of dislike for ee in the BSD world. At the risk of sounding naive, what is it about ee that no one seems to like?

Probably mostly a "real sysadmins use <insert traditional="" *nix="" editor="" of="" choice="">" sentiment. Nothing inherently wrong with ee, but some seem to see it as amateur hour. It's not as powerful as vi/emacs/etc. but it's fine for basic needs.</insert>

most "real admins" i know don't want nor need an editor…..
they only need a phone(book) and a banana to go "jump monkey, jump!"

If you don't know vi maybe try Diagnostics > Edit File??
I say "don't know" because if you knew it you'd love it. :P

Vi is like a smelly hobo. I'm sure it's nice, but from the little bits I've seen of it, I don't want to get to know it.
Besides, this is for use over SSH.

@heper Muchas gracias, si funciono

Or just use the ee (Easy Editor) which is built in anyway.
