After looking into this, you can see if it only happens when using 'vi'
without an alias to 'vim'. Or does it also happen to 'vim' ?
(Beware that as root 'vi' is not aliased to 'vim', but as a user it is)
You can directly test using:
unalias vi
vi -c "h tutor"
and
unalias vim
vim -c "h tutor"
I think this is normal behaviour for 'vi' as it does not support gzipped
help pages. Seems the case for RHEL too, so it is not specific to
CentOS. You might want to to check the same on Fedora too ?
Kind regards,
