    Cool Folks, how do i open debian/changelog using nano editor?

    Folks, How do i open this file called "Changelog" using nano on Debian Etch amd64?

    This is the file i'm referring to: You find this file when you dpkg-source -x gnash_0.8.3-dsc
    then you cd gnash-0.8.3 Afterwards, you ls -a the file and you find autogen.sh backend and the file i'm discussing Changelog...Again, how do i open this file debian/changelog using nano editor?

    Remember, you can use nano - or any other editor - to view any file. But you can't change it unless you are root. So, if you need or want to alter a config file, log in as root and away you go.

    nano /filename. Ex: nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    Be careful. You can do a lot of damage. control/o (the letter not zero) will save your changes. control/x will get you out. Luckily, you can save a step by just using control/x. You will be prompted to save the changes or not.
