Were are the stadard Linux files? - genegold2 - 09-26-2018

I want to view the 'Fstab' file that was gererated at installition and it not there. Where did moved to? Seems everyone wants to short cut trying to make a smaller distro and not make a useful tool but for old ladies to do Facebook.

Its located in /etc/fstab (typical Linux location)
Can be viewed with the following command
Code:
cat /etc/fstab

If your looking for something specific.. You can search fstab from the main forum page or with a more specific with additional parameters.

Can be edited within terminal with vi/nano or calling out a text editor (leafpad) - should accessible without root/sudo access.

Hope this points you where your needing & welcome to the forums!!

Under File system in File Manager, it shows /etc but no fstab file. Mkes it much more difficult to do things without resorting to using the terminal antiquity.  this 2018 nut 2003.

Gui... Same place - double click to open..

If using Thunar, default File Manager - once in /etc (file system - etc) you can type fs to jump to the file.


PS Windows still has Command Prompt and Powershell - along with headless/core server OS's where no gui at all.. Just sayin Smile

Files are where they always have been. Keep that attitude up, and you stay here will be a short one.
