OD> Thanks; I'll check it out. OD> If it really does, then my system is okay now. OD> BTW, if it's read-only and you can still write something on the OD> filesystem, why is it called read-only...? (I'm a bit dazed and OD> confused...) It is called read-only because user programs that work at level of files and directories can't write on mounted filesystem. Tools that mount filesystem work on lower level. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/) | | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
