Yeah found out a way in mandrake. Went to harddrake, and changed the drive mounted as cdrom. However, i'll open the /etc/fstab file anyway. :-) Incidentally, PcQuest people always used to recommend JOE editor, instead of Vi, or sometimes Pico. I'm not sure, but will they work? Anyway i'll probably use Emacs.
