well, I have this box that I have no way to admin. and what's even worse is that there has been several power outage already and corrupted the file system. (right now the /etc and /sbin is completely gone). so I was wondering if there is a way to make everything readonly, except /home if not, at least make / readonly. I think that's possible since I have seen some post about it. but can't remember where. and also, is there a way to get back a working system right now? right now, after mounting / readonly, system gets into a shell. like a single user mode. thanks for the answers... -- ~ Experience the power of the Penguin 'v' _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ // \ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ /( )\ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ ^`~'^ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
