I have followed the directions as best as I can and now I am ready to connect my machine to a TV, however, I have one step left. According to all of the info I have to edit for my Nvidia TV out the file inside etc/x11/ unfortunately I don't have an X11 directory.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I have this directory?

also if you just type vimtutor it will teach you how to use vi.

VI is excelent to know. Because its everywhere BUT,

nano is excelent to use.. IT looks more similar to msdos or edit.com

Code:
apt-get update

Code:
apt-get install nano



i still use vi every no and then.. but nano is my first choice
