[GNUz] Voyage setup part2: read-only

[Rik Tindall]

So far so semi-good.

I'll persevere with the untarred install until I strike a definate 
reason not to. E.g. pcmcia is included by default; probably every driver 
has been, and I'm not limited by space (5GB) so don't need a tight 
install to learn on.

But I'm still mastering the writeable options & resorting to external 
mounting to get at e.g. /etc/resolv.conf (symlink to /ro) to permanently 
add working DNS. (I can ping SNAP's but not Xtra's whom I'm connected 
to!?!) I'm looking through /etc/dnsmasq.conf - correct?

If I never have to look at Lilo again in my life, it's a good thing imho!
