Linegod_7611 : 27/02/03 04:56 AM : Reply received -   You can access programs/files/directories that require root access by opening up a console and typing 'su' and then giving the root password. From within that console, you can act 'as root'. -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
