Please don't laugh :)

I'm a Linux newbie, and after installing Linux for the first time, found
that I couldn't write to my drive because it had been set read only.  Any
idea why it did this when I first installed?  Obviously I couldn't change
it because even though I loaded the file that contains the read/write perm
thing into Pico, I couldn't save the output.

Thanks a lot,

Brett.
