Hello all,
I'm trying edit my sources.list to squeeze in my base install and I'm not sure how to save it. It looks a little different than my full installation. __{{emoticon}}__

Thanks,
Dave

You should just replace"testing" for"squeeze".

Yes, but how do I make it save. There is no"Save" under File. Will it save on its own? I see that it does say"modified" at right top of ROXTerm.

Once you have edited, in nano, hit F3 then Enter then CtrlX

If you want you can set rox to open leafpad rather than the cli app nano.

Open rox as root, navigate to menu.lst (or any file that you want/need to edit as root), right-click on the file -> Set run action -> type in leafpad (leave a space after the word and before the"$@") then save.
