HELP!!!!!

[Bill vance]

Howdy folks;

Having a few minor problems. I saw something yesterday that looked like it might
work on the list, so I typed in:

   aptitrude update
   aptitude safe-upgrade

thinking that it hjad been long enough that various bug fixes etc.,
would have been
implemented.  While that seems to be the case with a couple things, some things
still didn't seem to want to install corectly.

Now however, kde is sending me numerous popup messages saying that various
of its config files are not writable.  trying, "chmod a+rwxrwxrwx
.kde/config/*", didn't work, and returned a message that said It was
a, "readonly file system".

Apparently something did that to all my hard drives, so now I have to
post from the Public Library.  The last time anything like this
happened, I wound up losing a
bunch of stuff for having to re-install the whole shebang.

So how do I cure my drives of this unasked for disease?
