message when opening file?
I've added a path to /etc/ld.so.conf using vi, when i reopen it I get:
"Found a swap file by the name ".ld.so.conf.swp" dated: Sun Jun 2 10:56:29 2002 owned by: root file name: /etc/ld.so.conf modified: YES host name: HIC user name: root process ID: 1318 While opening file "ld.so.conf" dated: Sun Jun 2 11:51:04 2002 (1) Another program may be editing the same file. If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two different instances of the same file when making changes. Quit, or continue with caution. (2) An edit session for this file crashed. If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r ld.so.conf" to recover the changes (see ":help recovery)". If you did this already, delete the swap file ".ld.so.conf.swp" to avoid this message. " what mean this? |
It looks like you have killed vi when editing the file etc. If no changes are lost, you can safely delete the .swp file.

I have a quick semi-related question. Why are you using vi?
|
I am using vi to edit ld.so.conf, in order to add a path to this file,
this is for installing dsniff. |
one would guess he is using vi because he likes it. it's an indiviual choice... you may prefer write or whatever... i use pico.
|
But vim fans are sometimes annoying. Especially when vim is the only one editor on installation/rescue cd.

I use vi and prefer it, its quick and easy to use. |
vi=toughest text editor on planet for me. I made some notes for myself to look 'em up everytime I need to edit crontab, other than that never use it.
pico is my favourite. |

I personally prefer Nano. Nice and easy. I still need to get Pico, though. Pico is nice. I've heard good things about Emacs, but I've never used it.

That's why I don't know why there is usually only vim available by default...
