I need to change an X config file I screwed up so I can get into Linux. I'm using my boot disk to get to root, so I can bypass X, so I can edit the file. This is the message and prompt I get when booting from the floppy:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read only. sh: /usr/bin/check -sendfile: No such file or directory /# I then use the command umount like so: /# umount / I then tried mounting like so: /# mount /dev/hdb2 / -rw and got this: mount: you must specify the filesystem type So I tried: /# mount ext2 /dev/hdb2 / -rw and got: Usage: mount [-hv] mount -a ...........and so on. I also tried: /# mount -rw /dev/hdb2 / and got the same readout as the example before: Usage...... I am trying to use joe to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config so I can return my system to normal. I am very new to Linux so feel free to spell it out for the dummy. Thanks, Kent
