Hi! I'm a new Arch user! I installed Arch 2009.2 after everything was done, grub was installed I rebooted. Logged in as root. Then I tried to adduser...it asked for username..etc..etc..But at the end it says can't lock password file, user not created. then I tried to backup my pacman mirrorlist, it says can't copy from read-only file. I'm now on Fedora Live CD and in need of fast help!
thnx

oh I tried chmoding but it just says changing permission of read-only file, but when i do ls -l it just shows the file is still read-only. Have I done some blunder while installing? i dnt think so since the install went smoothly and I followed the official guide.

You have write access to the system right? /etc/passwd is 640 here.
cat /etc/mtab
should tell you. If not, do
mount -o remount,rw /
