Hi
This is my first at using Nano. I'm at chapter 15 editing the fstab the gentoo install docs.

nano -w /etc/fstab

How do I get it to save the changes I have made? I pressed F2, but all I get is file name to write: /etc/fstab. and nothing seem to happend. Any ideas?

p.s sorry about the spelling- it's 2:00am and I'm verry tried :roll:

"CTRL-X" to Exit, then "y" to save

Or CTRL-O to write the file without exiting...

All the commands are along the bottom of the screen... Although it took me a while to work out write-out meant save the file.
