SFS is read-only under OS4 Classic

It will not cure the problem but i'm curious if you can unlock your partitions with the "lock" command?
if they can be made unlocked with the lock command i guess theres something in your startup that locks them.

Does the OS4 installer do anything special apart from copy files and set the specified preferences? I ask because my re-install attempt crashed partway through and I ended up copying the rest of the files by hand. Is there some sneaky script that tells the system it's "ready"? I found the one for the SObjs: softlinks, but is there something that's part of the install script that my non-Python-knowing eyes can't see?

I' dont know why but iirc something like that will happen if you install to a non-empty partition.
