Definately. Pentium optimised vi or cp just isn't worth bothering
about. I kind of prefer the "build from source package" option, though
- it solves the much more general problem.

What are you trying to install from? It builds perfectly happily from
source into whatever directory you want (although I've not tried on
Linux recently), and the last anyone told me the binary releases wanted
to be put into /usr. It's not much hassle to build from source.
