First thing: Check how the filesystem is mounted. If it is mounted 'ro' then you can not change any file on that filesystem. Even as root. e.g. $ mount /dev/sda2 on /usr/local/share type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sdb5 on /srv/ftp/pub/suse type reiserfs (ro) $ If your filesystem is NTFS, then it cannot be written to in Linux without risking dataloss. Another thing (which is not an issue on a Windows partition) : If you do not have writepermisson on the directory which the file resides in you cannot remove the file. You can change it, but not remove it. j -- Jonas Helgi Palsson "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. NO is the answer." -Erik Naggum
