chris:b Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) For the kde users out there. I've found it very useful to install these two small additions to konqueror as file manager: 1. Run as root: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11227 Right click on a dir, your servicemenu now contains a new entry under 'actions': open/run as root No need for a kdesu konqueror anymore. Very handy. 2. Mount iso image I am a bit lazy and have to work a lot with iso images, look at this: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11577 How it works: Mount: Right-click an ".ISO" file and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Mount Image". Image file will be mounted to folder on Desktop, the corresponding folder will be opened and raised. Unmount: Right-click an ".ISO" file and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Unmount Image". The corresponding folder will be removed from the desktop automagically. Calculate MD5 sum: Right-click an ".ISO" file, choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Calculate MD5 sum" and wait for completion - it may take several minutes for a standard 650 Mb image on a slow machine. Create ISO/UDF image from directory: Right-click a folder that you wish an ISO or UDF image to be created from and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO (or UDF) image". Image will be created either in parent directory of this folder (if user is allowed to write there) or on the Desktop. Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO! Create ISO/UDF image from CD/DVD drive: Right-click any suitable directory (resulting file will be stored there), select "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO-image from CD-ROM" and select the name of ISO image in the filename selection dialog. If it suggests you put the resulting image on the Desktop instead of the selected directory, it means that current user has no permission to write in this directory. Note: This feature requires a working CD/DVD drive Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO! I've installed both, and they work fine.
