  "man vi" should help you. Which editor to use is always
  a very personal decision ;-)

  Your /usr partition wasn't mounted during install I would
  guess. If your root partition didn't fill up during install
  I think you made it a little bit to big ;-)

  To move /usr to the correct place do the following:

    - mount your /usr partition to eg. /mnt
    - cd /usr ; tar -cf - . | (cd /mnt && tar -xf -)
      (be _very_ careful with the above commandline!)
    - edit /etc/fstab and add the correct /usr mount data

  To delete the old stuff under /usr you must go into single
  usermode with (shutdown now). Then you may delete everything
  under /usr but leave the directory intact! Finally you type
  "exit" and the system should go again into multiuser mode

  You need to play with the monitor controls to fit the screen
  over the entire display.

  I think one can use a bigger font but that means recompiling
  the kernel. Consult the GENERIC configuration to find out how
  todo it.

  The included compiler. You did install the comp.tgz package,
  didn't you?
