how to do i fix this?

You need to be root to edit system files, use the su kommand in a terminal or
sudo to get root privileges.


Hi

I just used gentoo cd to get into the file system, however, I don't
know what to edited.

this is what I have in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda3 / reiserfs defaults 0 1

proc /proc proc defaults


I believe it started when I remove following from /etc/init.d

"knoppix-autoconfig"
"knoppix-hd-autoconfig"
"knoppix-hd-config"


I was trying to remove few things from start scripts, and I think I
went too far :(



I guess you need to find and put back a script containing something like

mount -o remount,rw /some_path

On Debian, the script is called checkroot.sh. I don't know about knoppix.

Next time you play with something without knowing what you do, it is a good idea to make a backup, or at least write eveything down so you can retrace your steps.

Good luck
Mihai
