Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] glibc

[Mike S. <Mik...@am...>]

Hello,
So far just replacing the old glibc files is working. I hit another 
problem though. Here's the situation. I've created a PXE bootable 
version of devil-linux so that no cdrom is needed and everything is in 
RAM, some of the programs I have to run require write access though, I 
tried adding "rw" to the kernel append line before booting and while 
that worked for some directories like /root it did not work for other 
directories like /opt. The bad news is the program needs write access to 
/opt. I know it compromises security but is it possible to mount the 
file system as read/write?
