Mac OSX 10.3 desktop won't start on iMac.  However, Mac will boot to a promt that seems to be root.  It is -sh-2.05b# .  When I try to delete any of the apps folders or files in Applications I get the message that it is read only.  When I try to chown the permissions to execute, I get invalid argument.  How do I delete files and folders in the Applications folder from the prompt -sh-2.05b#Start Free Trial
