I have to type the command
mount -n -o remount,rw /
Inorder to get the filesystem root to be in read write mode, is there a way to automate this? It happens when I include the diskette backup (otherwise it would star the xserver and I get a black screen).

You are refering to a HD install correct??

If that is the case modify the /etc/fstab and remove the ro from the command mounting your drive...(I do believe this is how its done)
