Write permission

[sskagent]

I have Fedora on my computer but it freezes during bootup at the Initalizing Firewire Controller. I read online I should get Knoppix and then using it edit my grub.conf file. I followed instructions to allow write permissions but when I click on grub.conf it still says that I dont' have permission. I'm a linux noob so do I have to use a console command to edit it? Thanks for any help

Hi,

usualy all devices are mounted readonly, just type
mount, and you will see wich devices are mounted, an how they are.
You can use
remount rw /dev/hda1 to mount /dev/hda1 in read-write mode. for more information see "man mount"
