Hi,

I got a problem: I boot DSL 0.93 friom usbstick. I can change
filettol.lst in my home directory but using the backup/restore panel
and the automatic call of that while rebooting fails due to the fact that /dev/sda1 is mounted readonly.

A
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1
fails with "device in use" or similiar.

How can I get out of this trap ? ;)

Thank you very much in advance for any help !
