Hello, I have never been able to figure out how to do this, and I usually end up copying the file to be edited to a floppy et be able to edit it from another machine, but there has to ba a way to do it! Everytime I go into single-user-mode and I have to edit a file, the output to stdout is messed up (looks like there are no \n). I tried several editors (vi, ee, edit (ee I think), and I get the same thing, useless to say that it's impossible to edit the files. The only editor that works, is vim, but it's not always installed. Does anyone know why this happens? And does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you, Gabriel
