I screwed up my fstab file last night by #'ing out part i shouldnt have now it doesnt boot properly so I tryed booting of the Knoppix Live CD and that picked up my install but when I edit the file it says its unable to save it. My install is on a Raiserfs anyone got any ideas what I can do to fix it?
Boot from CD open a console window sudo mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd?? to mount the drive and partition then sudo vi /mnt/hd??/etc/fstab open the /etc/fstab for editing, edit and save then re-boot. replace ?? with drive letter and partition number.
--To restate that a bit more clearly:
o Boot into non-gui mode from the cd: ' knoppix 2 '
o ' mount /mnt/hda2 ' from the CD, as root, if hda2 is where your install is.
o ' cd /mnt/hda2/etc '
o Either copy Knoppix's fstab down to your HD or edit the hd-installed file.
o ' jstar fstab ' == (jstar is Wordstar-compatible and has an easier interface than VI), Ctrl-KX to save and exit.
--No offense Stephen, I just thought he might find your post a bit confusing.
