One thing worth noting is that pagers and vi often require disk space~
to create temporary files,  so they will not work on a single~
partition Linux system that has "overflowed".~

I recommend "cat /dev/null > .xsession-errors",  It is pretty obvious you~
hosed the X config (not a hard thing to do).  So clear the file and~
reconfigure X,  and restart in runlevel 5 again,  or check with the~
startx command and see if X starts.cc
