| Quote (tempestuous @ Nov. 20 2005,07:40) | It sounds like you're running from liveCD - and this can be a problem because much of the filesystem is ready-only.
If you had a hard drive installation it would be so much easier.
But if you want to stick to a liveCD, here's how to make those files writeable -
sudo su
/etc/init.d/mkwriteable ## not sure if this is needed
cd /lib/modules/2.4.31
cp modules.dep tmp1
cp modules.generic_string tmp2
cp modules.pcimap tmp3
cp modules.isapnpmap tmp4
cp modules.usbmap tmp5
cp modules.parportmap tmp6
cp modules.ieee1394map tmp7
cp modules.pnpbiosmap tmp8
rm -rf modules.dep modules.generic_string modules.pcimap modules.isapnpmap modules.usbmap modules.parportmap modules.ieee1394map modules.pnpbiosmap
mv tmp1 modules.dep
mv tmp2 modules.generic_string
mv tmp3 modules.pcimap
mv tmp4 modules.isapnpmap
mv tmp5 modules.usbmap
mv tmp6 modules.parportmap
mv tmp7 modules.ieee1394map
mv tmp8 modules.pnpbiosmap
Now depmod will work. |
I've done a frugal install with the /opt/ and /home set to save, which as such, is a LiveCD installation in this regard (or at least, that's how I understand it works).
I've copied your suggestion into the /opt/bootlocal.sh file, and the boot sequence stops with the error:

bash: no job control in this shell

Clearly, this isn't the place that your suggestion should be placed... I was going to stick the depmod/modprobe sequence of commands after this, but clearly this isn't the way to go with this.
Where should I be putting this, seeing that I don't want to be typing this in each time I boot the machine?
