Either you write your own install program, that copies back all files
to harddisk and changes the readonly file attribute (seems like a little
bit overkill to me for private purpose), or you use a command line
program: under UNIX you can use the chmod command and in a DOS box
you can use the attrib command. Here some examples:
chmod 644 sample.txt
will make a file writeable under UNIX for the owner of the file.
attrib -R sample.txt
will remove the readonly attribute flag under DOS/Windows.
attrib -R sample /S
will remove the readonly attribute flag for all files (but not the
directories) in the directory sample.
