addr Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi, just installed and very easy it was. I've never had a distro get my dialup right before. It all looks very good but I can't find the File manager (Superuser). I can't function without this as I must get into other drives and partitions to get set up. Where have I missed it?

jagwah Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 or you can just right click on the desktop, choose Create New/Link to Application, give it a name, and an Icon if you like, then under the application tab, in the 'Command' box type, kdesu konqueror click ok, then when you double click it enter your root password and away you go. You can also add a path after so it will open to that, eg kdesu konqueror / - will open to root's home kdesu konqueror /home/yourusername - will open to your home folder etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addr Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I got that done...thanks again. In my other distro I would mount a different partition (say data backup) using kwikdisk then use Konqueror as root to open the partition (in Mepis and Pclos in /mnt). I can't show any other partitions so far other than in /dev. If you can tell me how to do this now I'll be able to transfer all my stuff without booting Mepis. Sorry to be so ignorant but this is a bit different from what I have been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
