It's an emergency rescue system. Sure, tab completion would be nice
(and I'd personally have included it), but it's far from essential.
And Emacs? On a single floppy? I guess you could put microemacs on.
Even if you use Emacs (or nedit or jed, etc.), you should at least
have a basic working knowledge of vi, because that's often all you
have when the machine's having problems.
