    Won't Boot ... Bad entry ...

    Hi

    I have a problem ... line ten in my /etc/fstab has a wrong entry and won't let me finish booting into Fedora 6. I tried using one of the text editors in rescue mode bothe in FC6 and Knoppix but to no avail ... permiision is denied when I type /etc/fstab to edit.I also tried usiing Knoppix to rescue my machnie but after it finishes booting the mouse pointer hangs and I cant navigate KDE or anything else for tha matter. I just want to get rid of that bad ine in /fstab. I sure would appreciate some help here.

    Thanks,
    Ken

    boot knoppix straight into runlevel 2.... (Text Mode) by entering the following at the boot prompt:

    Code:
    knoppix 2


    Once at a prompt.... issue the following commands:

    (assuming FC6 is installed at /dev/hda1)
    Code:
    mount /dev/hda1 -o rw    
    cd /media/hda1/etc/
    
    pico fstab

    Edit and save...


    Then issue:
    Code:
    reboot

    All done

    Take Care,
    -Justin
