jaraeez Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) ? I believe you need to do 'sudo' then whatever command your running after that. Have you created a passwd for root? I think this should be moved to a more relevant section of the forum! oops :) to slow... Edited December 7, 2006 by jaraeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
