Yes, I know Vim from Arch Linux. But for OpenBSD, I'd like to try to
stick to the base install as close as possible.

Many thanks for this tip!

I'm very grateful for the help misc@openbsd.org offers. A big thank
you to all the list contributors - and of course to all the contributors
and committers of OpenBSD itself. My family and I are very happy
to be able to use it for our daily home office work.

Best regards

Rolf
