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

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

Maybe this will help.
If you use Knoppix
1) Boot the system using Knoppix (rescue disk).
2) as root
A) fdisk -l ( list all partitions of all disks)
B) Enter the proper data (example below)
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 116301 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 105 52888+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 106 12435 6214320 83 Linux

--->From my fstab
( Note also all the system stuff that does not have mount points! )
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

3) Put all the proper hard drive info in as well as all non-mounting "file
systems"
4) Verify that the file has been written.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
