Hello all,

I am new to linux and working on fedora 10 since a couple of weeks. When I was trying to edit fstab, it seems that I commented the wrong line. After rebooting, when opening terminal the cursor is blanking but I cannot type anything.

How can I access my fstab and edit it without the need for terminal?

Thanks in advance.

Boot from a Live CD and mount your Fedora root partition read-write.

Or single user mode which doesn't need creating a live CD. When grub comes up, catch it, most buttons will interrupt it, select the boot option you are after, hit e, go to the kernal live, hit e then at the end of the line place 1 or single (make sure their is a space before it). Then you can load single user mode and should be able to edit /etc/fstab, might require some manual mounting of things if you broke fstab enough. As Single User Mode works effectively at init run level 1 from what I understand, you won't get a fancy GUI, it will be a CLI shell.

after placing 1 or single (with a space before them) nothing happen. It takes me back to the previous menu (root, kernel, initrd)!!

erm... b to boot. once you have added that to the line.

thanks

Sorry about that , forgot to say it first time. Wasn't able to check that out as I typed it second time around. Apologises.

No problem man. Thanks.

Have you been able to fix it yet?
