OK. When I was playing with RH9 last year I liked the "File Manager
Super User" option which was missing from Mandrake. A simple "whereis
konqueror" followed by creating a new desktop icon to run as a different
user (root) and I'm away laughing.
Thanks for all the help in the various postings. I'm learning . . .

I usually use kwrite.
You can open Konqueror as Super user the open using an editor or if that is
not an option you can use a console window, su - to have root priveledges,
then type, for example,
kwrite somefile.ext

Yes, this is a good explanation. A question:
I figured out I can edit fstab via
[EMAIL PROTECTED] roger]# kedit /etc/fstab
as I need to be root. While this works fine, is kedit the "best" editor
or is there something simpler/better?
The other question I had was related to finding group and user IDs
without resorting to the gui tool, but google has been my friend!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] roger]# id roger
uid=501(roger) gid=501(roger) groups=501(roger)
I'm getting over my command line fear ;-)
