Having problems with samba, I foolishly edited the fstab file. Of course fedora 5 will no longer boot. I have used knoppix and the fc5 rescue disk to get into the system and edit the fstab file back to the original. In each method I run into the same problem. I cannot edit the file because it is a read only file. All attempts to save the edited file fails. I am a linux novice,so excuse my stupidity. I appreciate the solution to this problem Bill Steibel bsteibel amnh org
My guess is that you didn't "su" when using knoppix. You're probably not root when you tried to edit the files.
