I use either of two methods:- 1/ Open a terminal screen, type su - (that's "su -"), press enter, enter root password (now you are logged into the session as root) type nano -w /path/to/filename (you do know about tab completion don't you?) press enter (I know you do not have nano on your system yet Reg but I do recommend it as being far more intuitive than vi - which you saw David using last night) 2/ Open, in KDE, "File Manager - Super User Mode" then enter the root password, browse to the file, right click it and open with kwrite. (Not sure if Suse calls it "File Manager - Super User Mode" but most KDE distros do. Volker?) Rob
