hey man, what's up. guess what? it happened to me again tonight!!! but i figured out what was wrong, at least with my system. it's the fstab file. for some reason, when i try to get my zip drive to work, it overwrites everything in the fstab file, and leaves only the lines for the zip drive. now the bad part. i haven't figure out how to fix it. so i had to reinstall, again. the only thing that i couldn't try was the recovery boot disk (mine was screwed up somehow). try that, if it works, then i'm gonna make about 8 recovery disks. but other than that, i don't know what to tell ya. jd >From: Drake X <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [newbie] Filesystem is Read Only! >Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 18:44:55 -0700 > >Well, I went back and played with it some more, and confirmed that the >Linux filesystem is indeed, read only now.
