1 Sorry for my misstake,

3 uname -a
4 Linux(none) 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 #8 Thu Feb 17 13:15:44 CET 2005 i686
5 Intel(R) Pentium(R)
6 M processor 1.70 Ghz Centurion Intel GNU/Linux

8 etc-update
9 mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/tmp/1162': Read only file system
10 ---
11 That must be my old Kernel which worked OK before my update
12 No I didn't run etc-update after my update when the system was up and
13 working
14 Any way to mend the file system?
