There in lies the problem. Tried unmounting /usr/src/wget-1.8.2, said it 
wasn't mounted. Followed that by rm -rf /usr/src/wget-1.8.2 and said no 
because its read-only. So if I try relining wget (for example) there are a 
bunch of errors about can't open blah because the file exists 
(/usr/src/wget-1.8.2) and bombs out.

Right now as it stands. It seems every partition is read-only except /home. 
The partition structure is:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

# Virtual, memory only, or non physical file systems

"Trying"? My contribution was much closer to a "feeble wave in the general 
direction of something that might lead you one step closer to a solution 
if you squint really hard and do all of the work."
