Can root mount a partition and allow users to write to it?

*Pentium IIIs are being scrapped for NO GOOD REASON *

I am surprised that recyclers of used PCs are selling Pentium IIIs for
scrap metal.

Pentium IIIs are being scrapped for NO GOOD REASON

Those Pentium IIIs can run special releases of Linux operating systems
designed to perform well on slow processors with low amounts of RAM (256
MB). However, 512 is the more practical minimum amount of installed system
memory!

Surely a Pentium III with a modern supported fast and responsive Operating
System has greater value than what is paid for scrap metal!

I wish I could receive Pentium III computers for the same price a scrap
dealer pays for them (under $5.00 per unit).
I am especially interested in receiving old laptops!

A Pentium III PC runs from about 500 MHz to 1.3 GHz.
Most likely the small HD will be replaced with a min of 20 GB HD and the
RAM increased to 512 MB.

I have created an image for Linux Mint 9 LXDE designed to run on low spec
computers like Pentium IIIs, max 512 RAM.

The details of my experimentation are here:

Someone is seeding the image here:
