I've encountered the "root is read-only and I need read-write" problem. My solution is the script below. #!/bin/sh sync /bin/mount -o remount,rw / /bin/mount -o remount,rw /boot Of course you can type the commands by hand. Since you've only got one partition mounted and it's ro, you don't need the sync. HTH, David
