Mageia forum

Really dumb question but I can't figure it out. I am new to this distro but not to Linux, must be having a brain fart. I know I can add entries using the mcc but prefer to add all the entries at once instead of one at a time. Thanks!

try this

Code: Select all

mcedit /etc/hosts

Nope, didn't work. Just says command not found.

Provided you become root, then you should be able to use any text editor. (To use mcedit you would need to install the midnight commander package.)

Code: Select all

su -
urpmi mc
mcedit /etc/hosts

For what it's worth mcedit is a cli tool so just

Code: Select all

su

will do.

Thanks for the help guys, I got it sorted thanks to you.
