items that follow in parentheses are notes and/or instructions, otherwise are commands to be typed:
Code:(create temp dir for mounting)
mkdir /tmp/mnt
(mount partition)
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /tmp/mnt
(open file in editor)
vi /tmp/mnt/extlinux.cfg
(use arrow keys to move cursor under first char of text to be removed)
x (repeatedly, until all desired text deleted)
ESC
(save/exit)
:wq!
(should be back at ChromeOS shell prompt)
(unmount partition)
sudo umount /tmp/mnt
(reboot)
sudo reboot
Hi Matt, after I type "vi /tmp/mnt/extlinux.cfg" it becomes a blank screen and I can't proceed. I can't get back to the chromeOS shell so I just exited into ChromeOS and rebooted without unmounting.
