I had the need to boot up in root mode on my mac, which allows me to work with files without having to log in. THis is all well and good, But I ended up having to compile and run a hastily written c tool to do a check.
I discovered that the compile could not occur because i was unable to write in root mode
how do I enable read and write on the unix root?
thanx
run "chmod u+rw <file-I-want-to-read-and-write>" ?
please note that i don't really understand what your asking.
my bad if it's ambiguous
the reason i discovered the inability to write was through implementing cc
but I want/need to find a way of implementing read and write permission over hte whole system in root, ie: being able to say pico and then save the file
I think what your trying to say is your filesystem is mounted read-only and you want to mount it read-write. try
mount / -o remount,rw
Microsoft is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistant one.
