[Mediawiki-l] Installing on a read only file system

[Hans Voss]

Ehm, maybe a stupid question, but if the filesystem is readonly, I
assume the read-only wil have to be lifted in order to install new
software on it (like the wiki).

Either make the configuration part of the install process or (and?)
Make the LocalSettings.php and the images directory a link (hard link)
to somewhere on a read/write filesystem.

LocalSettings assumes that you might want to change some parameters at
some point,
the images directory assumes that you want to enable uploads.
