The reason why I ask is because a frugal or poormans install behaves exactly like a livecd install in the sense that the OS is running from a compressed read-only filesystem. The only difference is that the filesystem is sitting on a hard drive partition instead of inside a CD-R disk.

getting this distro to behave for me is surely time consuming.

I figuer if I could find out how it boots then mabe I could fix it.

You don't need to edit fstab, if your system is read-only it is because you are running frugal or poormans. If you don't want that then do a regular hard drive install. Why do you make things hard when it is really so simple.
