Can the root filesystem be set read only? We are building a firewall,
and want the system to be on a bootable CD-ROM, so everything is read
only. The way I understand it is that /var would need to be
writeable, for the system logs, so we are thinking of putting it in a
ram drive. Will this setup work? What do I need to change so the
kernel knows it is OK for the root filesystem to be read only?
