I was trying to change the permissions of my macintosh OS 9 partition and
I inadvertently locked all the mac files. I've unlocked the majority of files again,by hand,but I was wondering if there was a mandrake konsole command that would unlock every file on that partition,just incase I've missed some?





Do you mean you have made all the files read-only?

If so, chmod is your friend, '-R' is a recursive feature so 'chmod -R' will apply your permission mask to the directory/mount and all files/dirs within. To add user write access you could use:

% chmod -R +w dirname

Have a play with the option on a dummy directory so see the effect.

Remember, some files need to be executable and readonly for a reason!
