Ok, good. But now I realize that perhaps you are not comfortable with a
console text editor like nano. Thank $DEITY that I didn't let you use
vi...
Unfortunately I edit all my important configuration files in a console,
and I'm not familiar with the exact syntax to start a graphical text
editor like gedit in root mode. I hope that someone else can help you
there.

Anyway you should add new lines at the bottom of the file.
You should really read "man fstab" now, it will explain a lot. Really.
This is not meant as a typical "RTFM" comment. You have actually made
progress and you have hit the point where reading about fstab is most
useful.

HTH,
