my problem is that when i try and delete the files it tells me:
please note i just did 'su' to become a superuser - it didn't ask for a password (i assume there isn't one on the LiveCD) and i assume i really am superuser mode
root@0[files]# rm abi-2.6.15-22-386
rm: remove regular file `abi-2.6.15-22-386'? y
rm: cannot remove `abi-2.6.15-22-386': Read-only file system
(N.B. the files i want to remove are in a hidden trash file)
if i try and open konquerer from root i get this:
knoppix@0[knoppix]$ su
root@0[knoppix]# sudo konqueror
mkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root

DCOPServer self-test failed.
kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting.

When my ubuntu worked it let me edit and delete files in this dir - i am confused as to why knoppix tells me its read only
Anything i can do to make it read only and thus be able to delete my files
any help very much appreciated
