The question is why do you need to use konqueror? besides its ease of use. ANW, I don't know whether konquerer allows you to do such a thing or not. But you can, from a shell, su to root and call konqueror from there. If you have a problem starting konqueror as root, there are several solutions, read debian-user for more info. In short, you may use xhost, XAUTHORITY, and sudo for the task. > This is needlessly complicated I feel.
