Hi, folks.

I searched hi and low before asking this because I felt sure someone else would have had the question. But I couldn't find a single one! Maybe I'm just dense. I'm not a newbie to Linux by any means, but I am fairly new to Knoppix...though I have managed to remaster a time or two.

I would like to be able to install software (debs for example, or just software I compile under knoppix) on the running knoppix system. I don't want to remaster and don't want the changes to stick, just want to play with something new. But I can't b/c the root filesystem is always mounted read-only. I tried

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/cloop /KNOPPIX

and was able to write to /, but still couldn't write to any subdirs. Is there a trick or am I wanting to do the impossible?

Many thanks,
Ben
