<title>Introduction to <application>Vim</application></title>
<para>The <application>Vim</application> package, which is an
abbreviation for VI IMproved, contains a <command>vi</command>
clone with extra features as compared to the original
<command>vi</command>.</para>
<para>The default <acronym>LFS</acronym> instructions install
<application>vim</application> as a part of the base system, but
owing to the lack of <application>X</application> libraries during the
base install, <application>Vim</application> needs to be
recompiled once <application>X</application> is installed to enable the
<acronym>GUI</acronym> mode. There is no need for
special instructions since <application>X</application> support is automatically detected.</para>
