Understood, though 'bootes' or whoever has superuser-like permissions should still have unlimited abilities, right?
Or is this purely a function of the flags to mount the root? On a side-note though, what is the preferred UNIX equivalent of /usr/local or /usr2?
However, permissions are still wrong somewhere, as I can't:
cp /adm/timezone/US_Pacific /adm/timezone/local
per the last part of the installation instructions, which also yields a permission denied message, even while logged in under the 'out-of-the-box' user glenda.
Thanks again!

/ is indeed mounted without -c. if you want to create a directory in /
use /root. see 'nm' for how the namespace is constructed.
i believe new directories in / are frowned upon (even if created in
/root). i can't find the relevant message in the archives.
