Fabio,

Thanks for the complement on the guide.  And by the way your English is very good, much better than my Spanish which consists mainly of "Dos tacos de carne asada, por favor."  :^)

As for the segmentation fault, I would guess that it is caused by the mount command and not the script.  Can you type 'mount −n −o remount,rw /' from the command-line and see if it causes a segmentation fault as well?  If it does you might try rebuilding 'mount' from the util-linux package.

Hope that helps.

Dave
