I need basic vi editor commands

[Nato99]

One more quick question.
I have the script installed and everything ready to go except this:

Next make kismet_qt run as root

chmod 4755 /usr/bin/kismet_qt


When I type in this command it says "operation not allowed"

What should I be doing?

Thanks

Are you root when you run this command? Only root can set suid on files.

You could probably see this questions coming  

How do I make my self root

Is there a good resource that answer these basic question for us newbies. Either in book form or on the net?

The best basic *nix text around  IMHO is "Linux for Dummies" quick reference, YMMV,...and they have a nicely laid out basic  "vi" cheatsheet.  

vi rulez - emacs droolz...LOL...for all the newly minted *nix enthusiasts, the vi versus emacs debate is one of the oldest and dearest flame wars ever.  I suspect it might even be the subject of the first flame war

ooops...I mean't UNIX for Dummies...

And this is a basic basic text and not much more than you could get from reading MAN pages, as was suggested before, and in many cases less than the man page.  The O'reilly book Unix in a Nutshell is also decent, and a good second step into the *nix world
