When you boot in single user mode, / gets mounted read only originally. when you type mount / assuming theres no problems, it remounts it in read-write mode. Generally this will fail if the file system is not clean. so fsck -p will mark it as clean and clean it. booting /kernel.GENERIC well thats a bit of stretch I don't know what I was thinking there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip M.
