Re: Read only filesystem when editing files
um...did you try it as root? Do you have /etc/ on a seperate partition? If so please post your /etc/fstab.

Re: Read only filesystem when editing files
Ok, I think I know what the problem is now, / is not in /etc/fstab. The new question is, how do i get it there w/o reinstalling everything?

Please post your fstab.
/ should definitely be in there... ;-)
Are you using LVM?
