This is a serious bug in the forum software beyond our control.
Hopefully the providers will fix this asap.

Hack solution:

Do not post a forward slash / followed by etc. Instead leave a space or write it as etc/apt/sources.list , for example.

I don't understand this workaround... __{{emoticon}}__

edit: Now I do! There shouldn't be any forward slashes / in the text posted.

/etc will cause the error.

so put in a space between the"/" and the"etc" like so:

Just at the first part of the pathway, or add the space between the"/" and the"etc", like D.O. says.

OR you can delete the"/" altogether and it will be implied. ( boot/grub/grub.cfg )

Thanks! In organisational things more precise explanation is always good.
Not so in computing where it is good to find a solution on your own. __{{emoticon}}__

I thought I was kind of banned! __{{emoticon}}__

antiX forums can come to Linuxvillage forum if they want to. This project would be very much welcome there.

i have just discovered this by editing my post 20 times
that you cant write / etc

i only have gotten to
/ / / etc / fstab
