the hosts.sam isn't the actual hosts file used for mapping domains..it was provided on some systems as a sample or template..hence the *.sam extension

i've never seen a hosts file set to read-only attribute on any system, windows, mac or linux, that would defy the whole idea of a hosts file..so normally the hosts is an accessible file unless you're a guest user or set to limited writes. some actually do advise to set it to read-only to prevent certain spywares or viruses from maliciously remapping some domains(like antivirus update sites) which is very daft in my opinion as a program which can already write to hosts can easily change the attribute any way it wants.

p.s. for km 1.6, there's no need to change the ua..it has full functionality with the default ua as their sniffer checks for gecko 1.9.x first before brand. however using a firefox 3.5/gecko 1.9.x on kmeleon 1.5/1.1 will cause several problems with hotmail as the mail js is not supported by gecko 1.8[/quote]
