install pico... sounds like its not been installed or has somehow been removed. Also check 1) your logged in as root and 2) your issuing a valid command.

Pico comes with pine.
Pine is an email reader for linux console..

If you don't want to install pine just for pico I'll suggest you use nano :)

nano is a gpled free pico clone and more.

pine can be found here: http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/unix.html

building and compiling information here:
http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes/installation.html

alternatively you could try to find rpm's to keep things simple :)

[/B] And the place to start looking for rpm's is http://rpmfind.net/

Since you're a beginning linux user (like me;)) I'd stick to rpm's if I were you. They're easier to install / remove than compiling them.

I just installed nano, do you know how to make it when I do:
crontab -e
so that it uses nano to edit the file?

That is define in you environmental variable called $EDITOR
echo $EDITORto see what's set,

Why not use VI(M) ?

Am i the only VI user here ?
When one get's used to the vi interface, it works better than Midnight Commander and Pico in one :D

pico doesn't come installed with Red Hat 9. (I think there was a licensing feud between Red Hat and pine.) However, you can get it by typing 'up2date pine' in a console or SSH session.

Just FYI.

I had pico installed on my local RedHat 9, it is also on all of our RedHat 9 systems, and has been since we purchased them.
