I believe that Slinky is far and away easier to install than Gentoo.
But, yes, the install does seem similar to a point.

For what it's worth, 'pico' behaves the same way. The -w flag disables 
word wrap, otherwise, word wrap is on by default.

I've disabled wordwrap (and enabled the help screens) in nano.
It's a configure option. I left word wrap and the -w flag available for 
mortal users, and disabled it for 'root'. I can also disable it across 
the board. Thoughts anyone?

I'll include the new nano in the next set of images.

By the way in the FYI department:
nano, compiled against uClibc=169k
Against glibc, you ask? 594k

Those are the striped sizes using the same config options, with the 
exception of the glibc path.
