greets,
just got an old sparc2 and decided to put debian on
it.
after being schooled in the art of openboot and
whole disk partitions i got it to install and can get it to boot through
openboot. however, i try to edit any scripts with vi and it wont let me
save the changes. tells me to use :q! instead. tried :w!, i tried
making scripts in another directory from /etc/ but did not help. could
create file, but not edit it. tried chmod 777, but that failed as
well. tried reinstalling with different drives with out any difference in
results. strange behavior to say the least. i posted to my peers to
no avail and dug through the archives and RFM. rather perplexed, any help
would be appreciated.
thanks!
