Get superuser (root) rights. Install rootsh if not done yet, open the terminal and type
Code:
sudo gainroot
Install nano
Code:
apt-get install nano
Answer any questions with "y" for yes.

Next, open the file you want to edit, in this case /sbin/fm-boost
Code:
nano /sbin/fm-boost
You can now edit the contents of the file. after you are done type ctrl+x to exit the editor. A question will pop up on the bottom asking you if you want to save your changes. Type "y" and press enter and you are done.
I tried to install nano via xterm but could not because it says it needs 310 mb. Anyway i am going to hold on until someone makes the change in the fm boost program.

Thanks for the help guys.
