Mounting / ro is not how the FS is meant to be used, so any problem you encounter (and it won't be just some X app) is your own. If you want to mount e.g. /bin, /sbin, /boot or /mnt ro then I can understand that, but / is just too general. Btw: please do not toppost, i.e.: answer under the section(s) you want to reply to, and delete the unrelated rest. > BTW, I've looked at the file "/var/log/boot.msg".

Soon you'll be busy with nothing but finding ways around a problem which might be solved easier in another way. What exactly is your problem that you want to mount / ro? Theo -- Theo v.
