I have set up tomato (shibby) on an asus RT-N66U router. It works great.

I loaded up a few pieces, like transmission and optware.

I can run vi, but when I run vi it fails with a "memory exhausted" error, and the terminal session hangs. For reference: If I simply start "vi" it runs fine. But if I specify vi I get the memory exhausted error, even if the file I am opening is just a couple of hundred bytes in size (like fstab).

I discovered that my swap partition was not properly set up, so I did that. The swapon command now indicates I really do have a swap:

[root@MyRouter samba]$ swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sda1                               partition       32900860        0      1

How can I get vi to work?

Thanks!
