Root Directory Access

chaswp54 · 10-19-2001, 07:45 PM

Installed Mandrake 8.1 and am checking everything out. Clicking on the 'Home' icon on the desktop brings me to the directories. I notice that when I click on the 'Root' directory, I get a 'You do not have permissions to read file:/root'

Is this directory accessible and if so, why doesn't prompt for the password?

If it is accessible, how do I get into it to look around?

Thanks

You have to log in as root to gain access to root's directory.
