Read only file system

[# Rayner Christopher]

Hi,

I've just installed Slackware from a CD-ROM bought with the SAMS Linux
Unleashed book. I followed the installation instructions using 'mke2fs' to
create the file system. I now cannot complete the installation since the
file-system is now 'Read Only'. I have tried 'chmod' et al, and queried more
params to the mke2fs but to no avail.

Can anybody help.
