Are you *sure* you saved the file? I suggest checking *before* rebooting -- I strongly suspect that you haven't. Maybe you forgot to "write" from vi, maybe you forgot to set the disk read-write, maybe something else, but before the reboot. > Do i have to chroot in order for these to work? I tried to chroot, but > there is no vi in order to edit the file? Um, no, that's not necessary (or helpful). Good luck.
