Have you actually tried running it and it failed, or are you just assuming that /dev must be on a writeable filesystem? The thing is, files under /dev are not regular files, they're actually just a mapping of kernel device drivers onto filesystem semantics. So the read-only state of the filesystem shouldn't be relevant to their function, since writing to a device file doesn't actually write to the filesystem it resides in. It does mean that you won't be able to, for example, chown the audio device when a user logs in on the console. However, if you chmod the audio device so it's world-writeable before you make the filesystem read-only, then it should work fine. - -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.6 02/09/2003 iQCVAwUBPnimu1V9A5rVx7XZAQJujQP/dnvweUDtHDn8k+ja7vaXs+UuWl2YZA2u WwV4QNseHrU3CSfdI2MkTAzyrUXwRQGP3mfAoR+78ioui7aWpblZL1DxCt+nApcC CLwAY9HvTRk4eqtHyiZkf0ikOmZs6nqCvD9D1VrghjeBwLbwGtf6jLF9axBn9DHE e9qrvyzW+8s= =6SmW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
