PeterPanic Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 BY the way: As far as I know all common display managers (login windows) allow to log in as root without setting anything to non standard. There's just no "root" with a nice picture in the list, but you can type the word "root" as a user name and your password in the password field, can't you. And yes, it IS a real bad idea to start X as root. Especially if you have internet access on that pc... Use "su" to become root in any terminal and learn to use the terminals. It's really worth it. By the way: You have come so far that MCC and Webmin don't help you any more and you believe to need to edit config files as root... Then you should also be "good enough" to start an editor such as nedit or kate in the command line and open files with them :-) If you need further help on the basic terminal commands, tell us.
