i.e. Misname a feature of the ./configure utility? - very misleading! ;-)

yes, that is why I think defaults is likely to be a better option than rw

If I change it i think I have to reboot (or re-mount) for it to take

i made it as myself- not root (I see what you are getting at) - I made
sure I (as a normal user) had write access to the directory.

Somthing interesting I did was copy the apache binary and create a
differnet conf file on the non rw mounted partition - no change - perhaps
it is because python is running from there also..
