I've seen that some system checkers such as Tiger and Tripwire recommend that the partitions which they are installed to be set read-only. I am not aware that these programs can be installed on a floppy by themselves so I'll have to ask if this is a good trade off to make. After all, setting these partitions to read only would kill some user functionality.
Is it a good thing; this is for an old computer which may not have floppy drives, to set another partition to mount read only (such as /mnt) and store security checkers - not talking about Tiger and Tripwire now, just any checker in general - on there? Or would this be a problem?
