This is the line you must change if you want your root partition of a writeable drive to be read only.
Thanks.

I had a look today. Of course you made it much easier.
This makes me wonder if other people doing this are getting read only drives.
Still they are doing custom installs. Me - I did a standard install. :]
I figured that way I would have to learn everything.
Doing a standard installation on a desktop is not very challenging.
Doing one read only on the other hand is turning into quite the experience.
Exactly what I wanted.

Oop. Here's someone who knows:

I like the idea of using fstab to organize /dev and /var.
Still considering there is additional jiggery pokery involved I might stick with my current plan. Linking.

Best wishes.
