Hi all
Is it possible somehow for me to make my normal Linux root filesystem a read only filesystem.
I mean even for root too.
I anticipate a question being asked in reply ,why do i want this? :-)
So this is not because i want it but when i installed FC 5 test 2 , i was not able to boot as it said there is no inittab file strangely.
So this means i have to create it ,manually but then it couldnt mount the root partition in single user mode, saying it is already mounted or in use.
Then i copied inittab from my other installation to the /etc of FC5 and i could boot but surprisingly it acepted whatever i entered as root's passwd. :(
i thought i did something wrong ( which i think i did perhaps ), so tried creating a file but then it said filesystem is readonly.
Also i formatted my root partition as reiserFS partition.
Later when i reinstalled with ext3 option everything went fine .
but still this gave inquisity of my original question.
Can i make my installed rootFS a readonly FS for everybody?
TIA
