I'm on this page http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p3 After setting up the root password I can't access the following directory: /etc/network/interfaces It says Permission Denied. Any suggestions? I'm new to Linux so go easy on me. BTW I did set my root password. I did the following: sudo passwd root set my password then: su now my command prompt looks like this: [email protected]:/home/username# _
I'm sorry. The directions are not very clear. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p3 All it says is to edit: /etc/network/interfaces I thought I just had to run the command: /etc/network/interfaces However, I realized I had to use NANO to edit this. Hopefully my assumption is correct
Yes consider my problem solved. Nano is necessary in order to edit this file. The command is as follows: Code: nano /etc/network/interfaces
Yes, if the howto says "edit" a file, you always have to use an editor like vi, nano or joe to open the file and do the described changes.
