Thank you for the help, but still have problems:
I have the root on the partition named hda11, I tried the command you told me:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda11
mount -o remount,rw /root
mount -o remount,rw /
but the answer is always the same:
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~61: Read only file system (use -n
flag to override)
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~62: Read only file system (use -n
flag to override)
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~63: Read only file system (use -n
flag to override)
Where I'm wrong???
