Since then I've done a bit of looking around, and I ran Userdrake and created a new username for my gf. But I expect the new username will have the same permission levels etc as mine - I didn't see any place to change or specify them. > I ain't sure just where the info you want is, but all kinds of info is > available in /usr/share/doc. Thanks for that. Yes there's a *sheetload* of stuff to read there. Nothing about users though - there's only 3 files in the Userdrake menu: the Authors list, the Changelog, and the license. I've heard about some "howto" files, but I did a search and didn't find any on my system. > now if you use the superuser filemangler you should be able to work in > the GUI as you wish, in KDE; Kmenu, >Applications, >file tools, > Filemangler Superuser > Yes this works well - thanks for that:) -- Merlin Zener.
