Is there an equivalent to "su" in a GUI?  F'rexample, I'm logged in to 
KDE, and am using Kedit to edit my lilo.conf.  Unfortunately, I can't 
save it as I don't have permission to write there.  I suppose I could 
save it elsewhere, go to a terminal windowe, su, and copy the file over 
to the /etc folder.  Or is this why I have to learn those icky editors 
like vi or emacs?  And which is better <ducks, runs>?

Also, has anyone been able to get an exisiting RAID setup recognized? 
(ASUS board with Promise controller, two drives in striped array, 
formatted FAT32).  I do have an entry in my fstab for hdg, but according 
to the partition table it's a 15G partition when that's the size of each 
drive.

Further, what's the difference between the disk icon on the desktop in 
KDE and accessing the drives through, say, Konqueror?  I can read and 
write to my floppy and zip and listen to CDs, but if I try to access the 
drives by clicking on that shortcut, I'm told I don't have permission... 
  Weird?

Thanks,
Matt
