OK, first, the directory is /etc (echo tango charlie) not /ect (echo charlie
tango) ; think of Yul Brenner saying et-cet-era, et-cet-era, et-cet-era!
Secondly, i haven't tried using the default EDIT command on Debian, but
in classical UNIX it leads into ex, which is not something i would advise
a beginner to use. It would be better to use the ae editor, or emacs if
you have it.
All in all, then, the command is:
#ae /etc/lilo.conf
and after the edit
#/sbin/lilo
--
if(rp->p_flag&SSWAP) {
rp->p_flag =& ~SSWAP;
aretu(u.u_ssav);
}
