So, anyway, I want to get this thing working correctly, because it is
small, fast and available, and I want to wait till I get X installed
before I build emacs, and that means I need to rebuild the kernal,
which means I need to edit the config file of my choice, yes? Yes.
So why do I get this message:
hacksaw:/usr/user/hacksaw:{108} vi
Error: Temporary file: Permission denied.
hacksaw:/usr/user/hacksaw:{109} vi .cshrc
log db: Permission denied.
To add to the confusion:
hacksaw:/usr/user/hacksaw:{110} cd /var
hacksaw:/var:{111} ls -al

Any clue?

P.S. for those having problems dealing with Micron/Micronics/Phoenix
BIOS Read Error messages, one solution is to get a new motherboard. I
did, and now I am up and running... Yay!
