I have successfully ran a Linux v1.0 server to manage a 24hr SLIP 
Internet connection for the past 2 years.  The other day I "somehow" 
removed the /etc/hosts file and now the system won't boot because it is 
continoudly trying to dial out to our ISP.  I have tried booting in 
single use rmode so that I can replace the hosts file but everytime I 
boot in single user mode the system mounts hda2 as READ ONLY!!! Tnhat 
does me no good.  Anyway how can I boot Linux v1.0 in single user mode 
and RW the file system OR bypass the rc.local file on boot up??  Any 
help is GREATLY appreciated ... I'm in a HUGE bind here.  Thanks for the 
advice!
