Actually, you can remount partitions without rebooting to change the read only status to read-write. e.g.
mount -o remount,rw /usr
...or whatever mount you want to change. You can change it back with
mount -o remount,ro /usr
This is what I do when I want to upgrade, as my fstab declares /usr as read-only.

Besides, what difference would this be from using a Win box? If you change the DNS entries in a 95/98/2k/ME box you have to reboot. XP ain't quite as bad, but not far from it.

Sorry... I don't quite understand... I was saying that you do *not* need to reboot in order to edit files under a partition mounted read-only, because you can remount a partition with different settings (e.g. read-write) *without* rebooting....
Sorry if I was being unclear...
