Re: [LUG] Mounting

Simon,

I tried the # mount -w -o remount / but it didn't seem to work. I can't exclude user error(s), of course! Gordon suggested, mount -oremount,rw /, and this worked. Thanks very much for your advice, though. I'll keep on looking for a permanent mount solution.

Cheers.

Jack.
