yes, a terminal means an xterm, which if you open a GUI and go into the menu, you'll see a menu item called "Terminals"
there are lots of choices, I like Gnome Terminal, which you may or may not have installed.. but any of them will suffice. As for running as root, you can either log in as root.. (not recomended) or SU to root. so open a terminal, then type: su - (don't forget the - at the end, it will set roots paths for you, which are different to a users.) enter the root password, and you are now logged into a terminal as root. Then run BastilleChooser. personally, I wouldn't touch bastille if I were you, gShield works better for me,, and its much simplier and less can go wrong. Bastille does other things to your system as well, which can cause all manner of problems if you don't understand them properly, like being unable to su, and other stuff. rgds Frank PS, if you are insterested in tryin gShield, then go to google and search for it.. it has a GUI available if you need it, but editing the conf file is easier and much faster, and neater to, you just answer yes or no or forward to the questions and off you go. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Muller Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2002 7:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Setting Up Bastille > > >I am trying to set up Bastille for the first time in LM 8.1 > The directions in the user manual say: "To launch it, you need to run the command BastilleChooser from a terminal as root" I suppose I may well be the most ignorant beginner on this list, but does "a terminal" mean "the commad line"? And how do I run it "as root"? As far as I can see, the writers of the manual assume that we already know these things. I guess I should, so please accept my apologies for my ignorance, but can anyone translate for me? Regards, Chuck
