DanielNTX Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Enter the rm -rf commands in single user mode during the darwin bootup to see if it works for you. Remember to use fsck and umount otherwise you can't write to the file system. If it does work, use a different editor like nano or one you are more familiar with. It's beeping at you because you don't have access to write in /etc. Make sure you are doing it as root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheazy Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 i know but the part i dont get is this: Remember to use fsck and umount otherwise you can't write to the file system. If it does work, use a different editor like nano or one you are more familiar with. i know how to do everything up until it beeps at me, i dont know how to get permissions, i dont know what umount is. im just asking for help here.

DanielNTX Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Remember to use fsck and umount otherwise you can't write to the file system. If it does work, use a different editor like nano or one you are more familiar with. That's only in single user mode, you have to press F8 before the boot and enter the "-s" parameter. If you don't do the fsck (file system check) and umount (to enable the write otherwise it's read only). The exact commands are on screen. If you are in safe mode or normal boot, it will beep at you because you didn't sudo to become root to be able to write in /etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
