Trying to be obedient to the Help file, and wanting to get rid of the popup Dillo Help file at bootup, I found the .xinitrc file and attempted to # out the line beginning "Dillo."
But the file is read-only. When I try as root in the terminal to command ".xinitrc rw" I get, "Permission denied."
Can someone help me out in this small matter?
Thanks.

Exactly which file are you attempting to change? It must be /home/dsl/.xinitrc, not /etc/skel/.xinitrc or /KNOPPIX/anything. As user dsl you typically will have little reason to modify anything outside of /home/dsl

Unless you made changes to file permissions, or something went seriously wrong, you should have no trouble editing as user dsl.

Are you trying to modify /home/dsl/.xinitrc as a user other than dsl or root?

Also, ".xinitrc rw" is not a valid permissions-modifying command. Look up the "chmod" and "chown" commands for help with file permissions and ownership.
