Re: [coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!!

[Ben <ne...@is...>]

I messed up fstab once .  Im a novice almost.   I used knoppix - a debian
live cd distro - then copyed that fstab to a windows partion .  Then edit=
ed
it and then copyed it to the native debian linux  using knoppix .  fstab =
has
to have root permission so cp fstab as root or su in knoppix .  I hope yo=
u
understand this .
