Hello there I recently installed Debian (2.2_rev3) on my SparcStation 10. It too has the same errors reported by Greg Teigue: one can touch files but not edit them. The command:
#mount -o remount,rw / succeeds (or exits 0 at least) and this is confirmed by the ability to touch new files. My filesystem looks like this: (the computer's not on so I'll be improvising) sda1 1024M ext2 sda2 200M swap sda3 2048 wholedisk sda4 200M ext2 sda5 500M ext2 sda6 100M ext2 I in fact do know how to use a UNIX editor (several in fact) and both vi and emacs fail at editing a file. I did not try ed but I figure the problem ain't there ;) Anywayz, looking at lists.debian.org, I didn't see much headway, but Colin Walters mentions something about having this problem once so I'm wondering what he did to fix this, or if there is anything else that I have done wrong. Thanks David Kordonowy p.s. I'm not on the list, so please cc: (but I do check the archives fairly often)
