While using Konqueror I am often prvented from making new directories etc because I am not the root user. How do I switch to root user while using Konqueror?

If you need a GUI, there should be an app (dont know your distro) but in Mandrake in the KDE menu its: Applications/File Tools/File Manager-Super User Mode.

Otherwise, you could just work from a terminal. Type 'su' (no quote) and enter password. Now you can alter files, directories, etc as root from the command line.

Be careful of the root!!

or execute "konqueror&" after you do su
