Well, I was up and running with hackman running on both tivoweb 1 and tivoweb 1.9.4. I was editing a hackman file when I made a syntax error and hackman no longer started with tivoweb. The hackman docs recommend that I remove the hackman.ini file and allow it to re-build. The removal from my tivoweb 1 directories went without a hitch but the hackman.ini file running with tivoweb 1.9.4 at /ptvupgrade/tivoweb194/modules will not all me to remove the file.


rm: remove 'hackman.ini' , overriding mode 0644? y
rm hackman.ini: Read-only file system


Now, there was a time when I could get through these things without much help but since I locked my Dtivo SAT t60 down several years ago in "leave-alone running with all hacks" state, I have aquired Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. A Brutal disease that rquires masive neurotics to put my nervous system into an "un-adgitated" state. My reasoning process is now in a drug induced disarray.

My HD died in the T60 and I am up and running with a new 300gb that has taken my altered brain 3 weeks to get back into shape. Slow...but I am proud that I got the thing this far. One syntax error and I am toast. It is with great regret that I must admit that I am lost and cannot follow a productive path to the "Read Only" problem. I throw myself at the mercy of those with clear thinkers! I now relunctantly cry.......HELP!!

It wont allow you to edit it if tivoweb is running at the time, have you shut the unit down and restarted it and edited the file?

Thanks Risestar, I'll give it a shot and post the results. It's good to see you are still around. I spent many hours at the Den learning other games. Thanks for the info and all of the past good times. You are remembered well!

As aways, I am humbled by my stupidity. Killed both versions and all went well. How did that bit of old knowledge enter the black void? I HATE these drugs!! Thanks RiseStar, a well placed brain slap is all I needed.


Off to sleep..........z.z.z.z.
