you can use something like "tomsrtbt", get it here http://www.toms.net/rb/ just create a directory to mount your system on, and mount it, edit what you need. Eddie.

Boot to your Mandrake 9.1 installation CD. I think terminal 2 gives you a shell. From there you can mount your partition and edit /etc/fstab.
