/boot: RO /home: RW /tmp: RW /usr: RO /var: RW The big question: can / be mounted RO? *YES*. If you ln -s /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab You will lose vital information if you use loopback mounts, but that is not entirely unsurmountable. There may be some other precautions you need to make. I cannot think of them, though. I don't think there is anything stopping making / RO except that mtab thing. Good luck. -john Of course, when updating/patching, you will have to remount the affected filesystems (/usr, /, possibly /boot) as RW. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
