Hi all

Utter newbie. Just managed to do a full install of puppy to an old desktop. Trying to do likewise to an old laptop, BUT,...even though at an early stage in the universall installer procces, i've seen dev/sda1 is read - write, i get to a point... 'The partition is mounted read-only, either unmount it or mopunt it read-write' How do i do the latter??

If you man mount, you will find...

Code:

-w     Mount the file system read/write. This is the default. A synonym is -o rw.

I would suggest looking at /etc/fstab as well, to see if you have that partition set to read/write when it's mounted on boot up.
