The lilo.conf in BL3 is set read-write, so this won't be a 
problem for people using that config.  I suspect you created 
your own lilo.conf.

I'm not sure what the default behavior is for lilo.
Read-write or read-only?  Anybody know?

Yes (although it is also possible to check rw).

Yes, Slackware remounts the filesystem rw.

No.  It's because I left out all the stuff about booting ro 
and remounting rw.  I like to keep things as simple as possible.
