services writeable

[schwuuf]

Hi,
I´m a newbie in Knoppix and want to use Knoppix as a live rescue system. But for this reason I must edit the /etc/services - it´s readonly an I cant make chmod....
any help or idea?

Thankx

You must delete the existing symlink first and then create a new file.

sudo su
rm /etc/services
cp /ramdisk/etc/services /etc/services
mcedit /etc/services

should do the trick.

--Nonono, it's not on ramdisk...

' cp /KNOPPIX/etc/services /etc '
