how do i exit editor called vi is impossible im in live cd and id have to reboot my os to exit it. normally if i open it in terminal i close the window but im in livecd

i wish i knew

:q

:P :P

The solution is to not use vi and use something different. :D

if you are write and quiting use :wq!
if you are quiting without saving use :q!

if you just need to send it to background use crtl+z and fg to get it back

stick with nano if you find vi hard

Escape, and type either :wq! if you want to save, or just :q! if you don't want.

But don't forget escape before to quit editing mode if you used it.

pull the power cord

Vİ is a powerful text editor. I recommend it strongly.
I think every superuser should learn the power of vi editor.
Please just google it to learn how to use it.

ESC + :q!
