I went down this route for a while before dropping this. The /usr partition can be mounted RO without problem. /tmp, /var, /home must be RW. Unfortunately the root partition must also be RW mainly because files in /dev have their permissions changed. I've seen strategies to use RAM drives to solve this problem. The devfs is probably the best way to solve this problem. -- Jean Pierre
