Did you actually test that ? vi wants /var/tmp rw as well...
Nah, just going from memory. It's been a while. However, the same
logic applies: Look at what partition /var is on and mount it too.
It will work just fine without /var. I believe it just puts a temporary

So guys, I perfectly understand (and respect) how much many of you use and
value ed. As much as others have a repulsion for it, but this is not my

I mean, with respect for all viewpoints, I'm far from starting a religion

Specifically, glass console fucked up, no editing working... and no

I'm not a sysadmin, though.
I don't see any harm in putting vi

ed(1) isn't hard to use, but if you haven't used it in a while, as
espie@ said, having another machine handy to hit the man page is
useful. Go play

Thank you Scott!
Your tutorial is really nice :)
I'll star it in my gmail.
Nevertheless, even if at the time the problem was a typo in fstab (which I

Uhm, you're welcome. Just FYI, it's bad form to reply to a private

Hello misc,
there were recently some comments about customizing bsd.rd contents and

I respect your opinion.
Are you a teacher and not teaching the basic ones? Proudly failing any
