SSH into Freerunner

[Abel Chang]

seems like i was missing this 2nd step you mentioned.
i was able to ssh my freerunner, and i also followed those instructions on
the USB Networking section.

the one part i didnt figure out how to do, was to edit /etc/resolv.conf on
the Freerunner.

how do i access and edit files from the mobile device?
that said, you can already tell i'm very newbie to linux :(
thanks for the help so far!
