How to modify osinstall.dist script? When I try to do it, I see that file is read only but when I choose Get info, I see Read/Write. How can I modify it?

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
You could try to edit it as the root user. Go to netinfo manager in Utilities, and under the security menu, choose enable root user. Put in a password, then log in as root and try.

You could also try to chmod it with terminal to something like 777, or a permission that you could write.
 
Short word of warning: Tread VERY carefully with root user enabled. That's voodoo gypsy magic right there. If you don't know precisely what/why you're doing, you can cripple your whole OS.

Apart from that, happy code-hacking!
