How Do you Login to Root

To day I installed Mandrake 9.1 After I made another accout I need to log in to Root to get something to work but if I logout there is no option to login to root
 
Just open up a command prompt and type in

su

It'll ask you for the root password and you can act as root from that terminal.
 
If you are allready logged into an X session, then just open a new terminal window and type:
su

It will then ask you for your root password...but be careful being root will let you do anything you want to the OS...and you could really screw stuff up.

If you want to be safer, do a google search for sudo and read up on it 🙂.
 
Thanx, but that is not realy what I was looking for, I need to chang to Root in KDE. In the login only my user name is there.
 
I am trying to make a LAN with a XP box but looking at the network from Linux

I get Error - Konqueror
Inorder to use the LAN Browser the lisa daemon must be
installed and activated by the system administrator

I gessed the first step to get that fixed would be to login to Root
 
Open your favorite terminal, such as: xterm, Eterm, Aterm, konsole, etc
type "su" in it
type password of root account.

REMEMBER ONLY USE ROOT FOR MANAGEMENT TASK, NOT FOR DAILY TASKS/USE
 
You do not have to login as root into KDE to do this...

before you go any farther and destroy your install...STOP AND RTFM.

I am not trying to be rude, but linux is not for the average computer user yet..nor is it for someone that is afraid to get their hands dirty and read some.
 
You can start LISa at boot by typing "insserv lisa" right after you start it manually with "rclisa start"

edit - im not saying this will work, i just googled it and you should try
 
ok, When do I type that in becous I tried the Terminal and that says Bash: rclisa: command not found, Bash: insserv: command not found

thanx for the help plezz dont give up on me to fast

i have it boot directly to the GUI
 
try /etc/init.d/rclisa start


for reference all of the systemwide linux config scripts are located in the /etc partition/folder
 
To Hardcore Robot YES

and to MCrusty it is not there how do I install it I cant find it in Packaging, Install Software
