[Voyage-linux] Modify Fstab

Hi !

I am using voyage linux for low cost PC ( Thinputers). Though voyage is
meant for other appliances I consider PC as an appliance !
I need  the read only OS feature and using from a 1 gb compact flash.Later
thinputers will use meshing technology to network.
Running xfce4 desktop and use it like a thin client.I have added bootsplash
and also auto log in.
Managed to pack this within 256 mb.

I have two issues which need to be solved.

1) Automounting USB drives : It gives device can not be found in fstab or
mtsab error.

2) Need to mount home directory r/w in a separate partition.

3) When auto logging for non-root user , I  can not do startx since home
directory is ro. I have to change to rw and then do a startx.

So for all these I need to modify the fstab or mtab ?

Not able to figure out how to do this in Voyage. There is no etc/fstab and
voyage seem to be doing this  in a special way !
Can anyone help me to figure out how this mechanism works so that I can make
these changes ? or point me to the resources ?

Cheers

Rad
