Interesting

I just booted the SuSE 9.2 LiveCD.  (I had one handy).

After login "mount" shows / as (rw) read/write.

I can create files and folders in /root, /etc, /var, and /tmp.

I modified /etc/motd.  I then logged in on a different virtual
terminal, the new motd was displayed.

Thus I was partially right.

I tried to create files and folders in /usr, that failed so I was
wrong about that.

I'm not expert with rpm, but is there anyway to tell it to install
packages somewhere besides /usr ?
