PseudoRandomDragon Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Open up the terminal (for KDE it is Konsole) and type in the following while you are root: emacs /etc/fstab That will allow you to edit fstab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted February 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2004 Have you edited /etc/fstab before? I haven't, but I have read up on it, just in case ;) It doesn't look too difficult, but there are some parameters that you may have to set up to make it work the way you want it to. (I got my info from doing man fstab) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
