read only file system

Hi,

Has any one worked on IPSO operating system.

I have a to add a file to /etc directory.
When I create a file it comes up with read only file system.

Is there any way of adding a file to this directory,
without changing the etc directory parameters.

Br,
Eugene

I don't know IPSO, but you can check if the filesystem is mounted read-only by checking it's entry in the /etc/fstab or a similar file. /etc should reside on FS /.
Also you can check with lsattr or chattr if they are using extended file permissions like "immutable", if it is ext2 or any other FS that supports it.
Good luck!
