You don't know how to use 'su' ?
Open a shell window ( rxvt, gnome-terminal..) and execute 'su -'. |
Root Access
bring up a terminal and type
su password (whatever the root password is) now you have full access for what you need. If you need to run a complete X session as root you will need to add the hidden user root as a login in the gui (goto the menu...configuration...KDE...system...login manager...usertab and uncheck root as being hidden). You can have X not autostart (goto mandrake control center...boot...drakboot...uncheck the launch the graphical environment when your system starts) and then login as root from the consol and then type startx. I would recommend that you us the terminal and SU for all root work simply because it is a safer habit to be in while having so much power :-}. |
