Just find your favorite tool, make sure it does not use memset or the FPU (have to emulate the FPU) and compile it for the PPC platform.

Some of the tools that you mentioned are on the http://pvrhack.sonnik.com site

I would rather have VI as well, but have failed to compile it for the tivo.

It runs great. Finally I got my favorite editor. And it make me feel the power of Linux.

Thanks mrblack51 to find this for us.

Step by Step to enable Vi

1, upload Vim to /var/hack/bin
2, upload lib*.so to /var/hack/lib
3, upload .termcap to /var/hack
4, modify .bashrc to fit your own hobby, like PATH, LIB PATH etc.
5, upload .bashrc to /
6, type: source /.bashrc
7, done.

Any one have the binary of chattr for Tivo?

this is the PPC chattr for running in bash on Tivo... remove the .txt and put in /bin (chmod it) to work (well, this is what worked for me ;) )
