Before you do anything else, you need to make sure all of your mounted partitions are not in read-only mode. The way I do this is: 1) Boot into single-user mode 2) mount -u / 3) mount -a The "mount -u /" command changes the root partition from read-only (the default mode when you boot single-user) to read-write. The "mount -a" command, of course, mounts all of your partitions. By the way, there's no reason to insert those spaces in your pathnames when you post (like "/ var / tmp / temproot")? Please don't. -- Conrad J.
