sudo pico /sw/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo does things as root, as long as you are in group "wheel" (ad you are if you are an admin user).
You could also enable the root user but for tinkering most would advise you to stick to sudo.

So I can add this:
deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download
fink-kde main
because I REALLY want to install KDE
but it won't let me!!! because I don't have
persmission (even though this is MY computer and I am
the administrator!)
I checked the "Info" on it and clicked on the
Privileges tab and it says the
Owner: system
Group: admin
Owner: Read&Write
Group: Read Only
Everyone: Read Only
How can I fix this! Please help!
thanks!
