I recall a while back there were some changes that were necessary to be |
| 13 |
merged into fstab; in fact mine contains the following 3 lines: |
| 14 |
# added by baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1 - 5/7/2003 |
| 15 |
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! |
| 16 |
none /proc proc defaults |
| 17 |
0 0 |

But aside from that, fstab and some other systems files never change; I |
| 20 |
always think these should be distributed as /etc/fstab.example and so |
| 21 |
on. The Installation documentation could be changed to say "copy & edit |
| 22 |
your fstab like so: cp /etc/fstab.example /etc/fstab && nano -w |
| 23 |
/etc/fstab`" and users would have the benefit of a back-up of the |
| 24 |
original should they ever b0rk theirs up. |
