Ah, yes, sudo .... <sigh> I remember sudo. I saw very early on that it was
something I needed.
Tried to start, and immediately discovered I'd have to learn a real editor
first -- not just pico/nano (all I know), but one of the big powerful ones
with lots of controls for all the power. Iow, a big project, not just
another step forward -- especially for one who doesn't and never likely
will write code. So it's still waiting for that round tuit -- maybe
someday while the world holds still I can take a month for it.
set the EDITOR environment variable to reflect your favorite editor. for bash: export EDITOR=nano for tcsh: setenv EDITOR nano
(it would probably be wise to put this in your .bashrc or .tcshrc)
visudo will respect that and let you blithely continue your ignorance of the
one true text editor ;-P
