anyway to safely make the hard drive read only?
Is there anyway to get a redhat installation so that when it loads up it will no longer write to the disk? I am helping a friend with a project, and they need a machine collect gps data and send it out in a SNMP message over a wireless bridge. he came to me kinda last minute, so I am looking to get things done any way possible, and not nessacarily the right way. I would like to be able to cut off power to the machine at anytime without fear of the filesystem getting messed up. airyk ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
