Root
 

How do u sign in as root .eg. 2 change a file tht is in /var/lib/wine
Im runnin mandrake 10.0

Thanx

su <enter>
then enter the root pw.

Where at? (not in console)

Look for a "File Manager - Super User Mode" entry in your menu system.

When you get there you can open the file in your favorite text editor by right clicking for a nice menu.


Alternatively you can use su in a console as was previously suggested, and manually start your favorite gui-style text editor with root status.

Then just browse to the file you need to edit and edit it.
