<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Hi,</P>
<P>Is his problem using VI or could it be that he dosn't have write access to where he is trying to save a file?</P>
<P><STRONG>Is the following informaiton still upto date with using DSLINUX and SD Cards like with the M3 for example?</STRONG></P>
<P>Using DSLinux <A href="http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/Using_DSLinux">http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/Using_DSLinux</A> </P>
<P>On builds using CF cards, the card is mounted on the following directories: </P>
<UL>
<LI>/gbamp on the <A title=GBAMP href="http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/GBAMP">GBAMP</A> build
<LI>/media on the RAM build for <A title=SuperCard href="http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/SuperCard">SuperCard</A> and <A title=M3 href="http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/M3">M3</A>
<LI>/sd on the DSMEM build </LI></UL>
<P>Note that on any of the builds above, the /home directory is always writable, because it is a symbolic link a directory on the CF card. <B>It is therefore enough to remember that /home is the only location where you can create files and directories</B> (emphasis intended to keep even lazy readers informed). Getting back to why /tmp is a symbolic link to /var/tmp, /var in turn is actually also a symbolic link to a directory on writable media. For example, in the <A title=GBAMP href="http://www.dslinux.org/wiki/GBAMP">GBAMP</A> build, /var is a symbolic link to /gbamp/var. This is how /tmp, a directory that needs to be writable to allow creation of temporary files by any program and any user on the system, is made writable in DSLinux. </P>
