try booting in to single user mode by interrupting your boot loader and passing "1" or "single" as an argument to your kernel, usually; linux 1 That might not work, though, so try a larger hammer linux init=/bin/bash Then at the command prompt mount -o remount,rw / if fstab is broken you might need to specify the device, ie mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 fix fstab umount -a If paranoid, "touch /test" to confirm read only. reboot. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
