Hi, I've managed to install a barebones system and I have a number of problems: Out of 5 DASD, only 2 are formatted. That is not enough to install everything or my data. I assume that I need to get the remaining 3 DASD formatted and that is outlined in the doc I have so the method is not a problem. The problem is that I have to have linux to format the drives, so I create the smallest system I can. Deselecting all packages. My plan is to reinstall linux after I've formatted and added the drives. I go through the steps to fmtdasd, fdasd, mke2fs but then I have to update /etc/fstab. This is where I'm having a problem. VI produces a lot of unredable text on VM so I'm not sure of what I'm doing. When I try to exit, the exit commands (:q, :q!) don't work. I can change modes with ^[ but can't get out. Either VI is not what I should be using or maybe I need to access remotely and try that. I've tried NANO but with similar results. I'm not used to VI so I can't deal with all the uncertainties staring me in the face with all the gibberish on the screen. How do I get these files changed correctly so that I can add the additional storage? Install an editor? Additionally, how can I get a remote terminal involved in performing these tasks. I've installed the telnet server (the only package I've selected) but can't telnet or ssh to work on the remote desktop, its says 'no path'. We all have linux installed on our workstations and would like to use that to log into <hopefully I can install linux on vm that acts like a server> the VM Linux. Something I've got to install that I'm missing?
