Technically (afaik) it should also work as root, but you shouldn't try
because in this case working in root could really mess up your system.
So why not use andy for your daily work, including photoshop, and su
into root in a console window and run your gui root programs from
there? That would be the most convenient way imho. Maybe this clarifies
my first mail.
Because that's what I meant. ONLY running stuff as the root if the programs really need it.On Apr 12, 2005 1:54 PM, Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Charles Pittman wrote: On Apr 12, 2005 6:58 AM, *Andy* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Florian Idelberger wrote: Normally it should be quite possible to just su into root in a terminal and then start all the gui programs you want from there as root.

I installed
Adobe photoshop using wine on an account called andy. I

doesn't work well when used in root but I usually only use
root so I was
wondering if there is a way to open my Photoshop 7.0 using root with Wine. --
