Remounting / read/write on rasplex 0.4.0RC1

Hi 

 

I wanted to install the PC monitor packages- http://www.mobilepcmonitor.com/downloads on my Pi to monitor temp and uptime etc. Since I can't install .deb packages on the rasplex distro, my plan was to pull apart the .deb and drop the files in /usr/sbin and /etc

 

However, I can't write to /usr/sbin or /etc since/ is read-only - I tried the usual remount command

 

mount -o remount,rw /

 

but the problem stayed. I then noticed that / is mounted on /dev/loop0 rather than an actual partition. I guess this is some sort of loopback device ?  Does anyone know how to get this mounted RW ?

 

Thanks and apologies if this is too OT :)

You’ll probably find a more useful response on the openelec forum than here. Its a much bigger community and so finding somebody with the correct knowledge will be much easier. Sorry this isn’t any more help!

Thanks - I didn't think of that, I'll go do some searching over there
