fstab

Having problems with the Gentoo Handbook? If you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place. All other questions go elsewhere.

After the base install, nano is installed in /usr/bin/nano by default. Unless something's mucked up with your installation, it should be there. (try typing 'which nano' to see if it's installed in another directory contained in your $PATH)

To edit your fstab file, simply type 'nano -w /etc/fstab'
