sounds more like one of mine, actually (see below)

A TL 2.0 boot/rescue disk will do the same thing, unfortunately, since the
boot disk .. well, actually the boot disk for TL has no shlibs on it at
all.  In rescue mode, it has libc5 libs, which is just as bad.  BUT, it
has a working chroot, so you just:

chroot /mnt /usr/bin/vi


TL 2.1.x beta and TL 3.0 have glibc libs on the disks, so you won't need
to chroot.  Admittedly, this should have been done for 2.0, I apologize.
