USB booting :: Read Write Lib folder

does anyone know why i cant write to lib folders?
Im using DSL on HD Pen Drive.

it seems like lib folder is write protected? can i change this?
why is it protected?

Thanks

ok, i think the answer to this is the fact i did a ZIP install on my usb pen, so i cant write/save.

Ive tried to do a HDD on the same pen by removing all files then doing a live install. but my thin client wont load up from the usb hdd. when i force a load up, the thin client tells me the disk is not known.

how do i do a HDD install that works?

just to let you know (if anyone is reading my notes??? and would like to help?

???)

HDD install does not make any difference to the fact i cant save usb pen drive.

im sure there is no real reason i cant write to files etc etc, am i over looking something? am i talking to myself?

if anyone can help??

every where i look, im being told to mount key (usb hdd) and its ready to read/write.

My key is mounted, green light on. but doesnt write.

should i be writing in another place? are some areas write protected?

Both USB pen installs are like running from a cdrom boot, except they boot from usb. This means most system files and directories remain on the boot media, therefore read-only.

You can try some boot/cheat codes:

dsl 'write' makes the base system writable;

dsl 'toram' loads all the system files to ram.
