I can't save the file, Im using root account...

Kabayan,
Sounds strange.If you are using the root account why can't you save the fstab?Isn't your root account have super user prevs? Maybe you can try sudo?

I am also having the same issue with ext3 not working after a hard drive install on the root partition. When it restarts, there is an error "EXT2-fs warning device (blah blah): ext2_read_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2". To try to fix, I have loaded the ext3 module with "modprobe -a ext3", and added ext3 to the /etc/modules, and then re-run lilo, all as the root user (sudo su -). On reboot, the same error reoccurs. Any thoughts? Does ext3 have to be built into the kernel, not a loadable module?

Im not sure but I think the KNOPPIX loader re-writes the /etc/fstab.

I too would love to have ext3 support especially since if I have to "kick the pig" on my old laptop it usually kills my HD install of DSL...

Any power Guru's out there wanna help with this?

Here's a thouht:

Download and burn the knoppix 3.4 5/17/2004 iso or just about any newer knoppix should also work.

Use knoppix to set up and mkfs an EXT3 (or even better yet, a ReiserFS version 3.x) partition.

Then reboot into DSL and open up the hd install script in a text editor and comment out the parts where it makes the filesystem.

Then do an hd install using the modified script.
