Stupid Newbie Questions
I've got a couple stupid questions here
1. Can I and How do I log into root in the GUI mode. 2. Is there anyway to remove a folder and its contents in the terminal without having to go into the folder and deleat every file individually with Code:
rm filename |
Oops my bad guys I guess I should let you know what distro Im useing. Im using Mandriva 2005 LE

1) When you're at the login manager go "System" >> "Configure the login manager" >> enter root password >> somewhere you'll find "Allow root to login"
2) rm -fdr directory Greetz, Boby! |
Re: stupid newbie questions
I wanted to say,
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people;~) rm -rf directory works to remove all directories and their contents. Rather than log into the GUI as root I would like to suggest launching applications with root priviliges from the Konsole. For example if you want to edit files with Kate: open a terminal, su to root and type Kate. |
