Sorry, by Notes you mean Windows ? In which case it is quite likely the Windows/Unix <EOL> problem. Windows is <CR><LF>, Unix only <LF>. In which case you'll have to convert the file to Unix <EOL>. It doesn't look like dos2unix exists on N900 so try the following :
Code:
tr -d '\r' < inputfile > outputfile
I used the Notes on the N900 sorry for being unclear

clien.ovpn:1 : EAWNA:105,1 (2.1_rc20) was the error

Tried tr -d '\r' config.conf conf.conf but it didn't work, gave me an empty line after I pressed enter, the ~ thingy didn't reappear and had to close the terminal before I could use it again

I'll try installing Leafpad, and have to untar, so give me a couple of mins
(sorry but I'm a REAL Linux noob)

Right so I'm stuck. When I try to un-tar the Leafpad.tar.bz2 file, it gives me the "tar: invalid gzip magic" error. please help
EDIT Nevermind I've tried the .tar.gz file which seems to work
EDIT2 it didn't but found another way:

apt-get install leafpad

Started the download and installation of Leafpad
Geez this is confusing lol didn't know it could download from the terminal *blush*
