Boy, when I start vi session, I still get " ex/vi: Error: Unable to create temporary file: Read-only file system". I'm not trying to open any files, just trying to open vi session. Your suggestion is greatly appreciate. Thx. Kenji P.S. Is there an IRC for FreeBSD somewhere so that I may be able to ask questions & get answers real time? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Nolde" <scott@mediaone.net> To: "Kenji Tozaki" <ktozaki@pacificwind.net> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2001 6:11 AM Subject: Re: Problem with vi and gateway > When you mount in single user mode, type > mount -u -o rw / > > Then you'll be able to mount the root partition as read/write. > > - Scott > > On Sun, 27 May 2001, Kenji Tozaki wrote: > > > Three questions: > > > > Q1: > > I screwed up rc.conf.
