<para>The vim package, which is an abbreviation for VI IMproved, contains a vi
clone with extra features as compared to the original vi.</para>

<screen>vim will utilize:
<xref linkend="GLib"/>, <xref linkend="GTK"/>, <xref linkend="GTK2"/> and <xref linkend="lesstif"/></screen>
<para>The default LFS instructions install LFS as a part of the base system, but
owing to the lack of X libraries during the base install, vim needs to be
recompiled once X in installed to enable the GUI mode. There is no need for
special instructions since X support is automatically detected.</para>
