How to boot Knoppix as Root

satimis · 05-22-2005, 07:30 AM

Hi folk,

Knoppix 3.8.2

1) How to boot Knoppix as Root? Each time at promp-boot: pressing [Enter] will boot Knoppix/KDE as User. Data on Hard Drive could not be read with all applications as User. To read Data with an application I have to start the latter at Konsole after 'su' as Root.

2) Would it be possible to save files to the home partition of the Hard Drive, i.e. /dev/hda5. If YES then HOW?

Please advise. TIA

Hi masand,

Tks for your advice.

That is what I'm now doing. Otherwise I'm not allowed to read the files on Hard Drive. However it it not convenient. For .doc files I have to start OOo at Konsole to retrieve them. For .jpg files on HD I have to start graphic application at Konsole, etc.

Besides I'm not allowed to save the files after editing back to HD. For such reasons I'm trying to find out whether there is a more convenient method.
