Changing menu.lst to writtable
I have finnaly gotten Damn Small Linux installed on my hard drive. My question now is how can i edit the GRUB config file. i have found it its called menu.lst but it is read only. when i right click menu.lst and change it to writtable my file browser says something along the lines of access denied and returns menu.lst to default settings. i can still read this file using the beaver editor i just cant write to it. any help is appriciated. thanks.

You probably need to be root in order to edit or change the permissions on that file. Fire up a terminal and do
Code:
$su - |
Thanks a lot. As you can probably see i am quiet new to linux.

If you generally want to learn about access permissions and how to change them, execute:
Code:
$ man chmod To log in as root in a terminal, as reddazz said: Code:
$ su Code:
# logout -A |
