I noted some people saying they were confused by nano. Here are basic instructions to get you far enough that you can install your editor of choice. I am deliberately leaving out things like cutting and pasting. If your goal is just to get a different editor installed, these instructions should suffice.
1) To edit a file, type: nano /etc/apt/sources.list 2) Use cursor keys to navigate. 3) Typing inserts text. The delete and backspace keys work as expected. 4) Ctrl-O saves the file. Nano's menu at the bottom of the screen calls this "Write Out". You will have the option to change the name of the file. On my system, there is no blinking cursor. But the cursor is in fact at the end of the filename. Use your cursor keys or the backspace key and you will see it. 5) Ctrl-X exits. If there are unsaved changes, it will prompt you to save by asking "Save modified buffer?". _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
