[GNUz] Voyage setup part2: read-only

[Rik Tindall]

Howdy. The networking is sorted now, with wlan0 untested but looking 
good. But it's a slow process until I gain write permission over the 
install. /root/ is the only area I've noticed where I can so far save 
work. So here's the process used - can anyone spot the fault?:

# cd /dev/hda9[Xandros]/rm * -R
# cp ~/voyage-0.2.tar.gz voyage-0.2.tar.gz
# tar -xvf voyage-0.2.tar.gz [creates folder: voyage-0.2]
# mv voyage-0.2/* /dev/hda9/

That put the filesystem into place, and it boots ok using:

title		Voyage Debian GNU/Linux 0.2 (on hda9)
root		(hd0,8)
systemmap	/boot/System.map-2.6.15-486-voyage
kernel		(hd0,8)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-486-voyage root=/dev/hda9 rw

I've checked all the ownerships and permissions, but still cannot 
edit-save the configuration files I own as root. What's up please?

Cheers,
