[LUG] Xandro 3.0 OCE - dead fstab

 

Hi All,

Yesterday Xandros locked up while I was in Thunderbird and refused to let me do anything except reboot. When I restarted all my browser customisations had gone and I had no network access. Next time I restarted my desktop reverted to standard and it ran the "first time" wizard. I tracked that down to having *no drives mapped* apart from my /home directory, which isn't the proper one. Then I looked at the fstab.. or tried to. Depnding on whether I use VIM or Kate it's either garbage (VIM) or blank (Kate).

Any way to resurrect it? Would there be a backup copy held by Linux anywhere or do I have to reinstall it all just to get the one (admittedly vital) file back?

Cheers,

Julian
