Alternatively (and much better) why not edit the fstab

I did an install of Redhat _years_ ago and have only had to
upgrade.
I never had to use this feature. I don't have a clue what it is.
Guess I'm screwed.........
Knoppix is a live cd distro of linux that runs off the memory. After running knoppix (or any other live cd) you can mount and edit files in /etc and there after boot in regular way.
If you are ready to throw in your hat then...... else try with single user boot. I am not fully sure but when you boot type in linux singe ( better google for it) and then do needed changes.
No, I don't give up that easily. I did try the rescue mode but it didn't/wouldn't mount the needed filesystem that has /etc.
I'm still re-installing. I hate to have to hand-pick the files in /etc but I guess to make this work, I'll have to.
Thanks
