Hello!

I've installed DamnSmallLinux on a harddisk and it runs perfect. But the partition at the harddisk is readonly.
For partitioning I used cfdisk.

How can I switch it to read/write?

when you boot it should say that its read only and give you the command to change it so you can write

if it doesent you will have to wait for one of the smart people around here to tell you the command cause i'm new to linux and i dont remember it.

sorry if i didnt help much

Look at the file
fstab
your partition will be written in a line
If you see after the name of your partition something like ro
it means your partition is read-only,
so erase these 2 letters
