Hi. I am fairly new to linux, and have been trying to configure my
installation properly. I have a powerbook g4. I got the sound working
properly. I want to make a script that will perform the following
tasks when run :
unmount my osx drive (must be root)
stop the iptables service
run mol.
I can create a script... but how do I perform commands that you must
be root to accomplish?
Thanks

If your OS X drive is being mounted on boot, it must be in your
/etc/fstab . Comment out the appropriate line and you should be set.
Are you trying to turn off iptables entirely? If so, 'chkconfig
iptables off' will stop it from starting on boot at all.
You can probably just startmol in your .bashrc file, but I'm not sure
about that. Read the man pages for fstab and chkconfig to learn more.
