Hey Guys, I'm constantly botching up my fstab file and the system will fail to boot correctly. I've learned to create a working fstab and call is fstab.orig which I can overwrite the botched file if I end up in Single User Mode... I can't find any info on Single User Mode to help me: - I use mount -u / to mount the filesystem as read/write - I cannot access any editors like vi or pico (my personal) favorite once in single user mode... Why? - I can't use the locate command, because the /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb script is not accessible - I can't su because this is not a recognized command Can anyone shed any light on how I can actually edit (preferably using pico) my fstab file once I'm in "botch" mode? Thanks Joe
