When ever I tried to save a file in vi or vim I get this error message. "E138: Can't write viminfo file /root/.viminfo!" Hit ENTER or type command to continue. This only comes when in root
Can you try and do: $ ls -la /root/.viminfo And show us the output. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
