So, for something I'm working on, it is desirable to have a Linux box configured such that most of the filesystems on the box are mounted read-only. Ideally, only /var would be mounted read-write. Trivially easy, right? Not entirely... I've done the following so far: o symbolicly linked /t

Hmm. I think that I'm starting to get it working. My solution: 1: comment out the part in the /etc/rc.sysinit script where / is remounted rw 2: create a /var/dev directory 3: copy the /dev/tty[0-9] files to /var/dev 4: In /dev, make symlinks to the tty[0-9] files in /var/dev 5: (
