I was running vim-tiny on a colleague's server, realised that there was no help installed, and so installed vim-runtime as the 'fake help page' recommended. (He gave me root access and won't mind).
vim -N doesn't seem to work with vim-tiny, and still doesn't with vim-runtime installed alongside it. (Help is now working though - good).
Is vim-tiny too small to offer much beyond vi compatibility? If so, would it not be appropriate to mention this in the documentation?
Basically, is vim -N not supposed to work with vim-tiny?
BTW: I have now uninstalled vim-tiny, and installed the 'vim' package (using APT - it's a Debian server). Vim now seems to be working in nocompatible mode by default. Which I also don't understand, as there is no .vimrc file in /root that I can see...
Thanks...
