This isn't as easy as it looks. I've got the VM booting into the Xandros
Rescue Console and I've been able to mount the filesystem OK, but:
- The shell capability is really primitive (it's ash), so it's hard to find
where things are and there's no history or cut and paste capability AFAICT.
- xorg.conf isn't in /usr/X11 as the reference says it should be. (The X11
directory doesn't exist.)
- I can 'see' an xorg.conf if I do ls X* in /mnt-system/etc, but when I try to
edit it, vi says it's empty (or didn't exist, so it's created it of course).
However, when I do ls -la X*, I'm told that xorg.conf has 2613 chars.
How the hell can I get to edit xorg.conf?
