If you do not like the command line and vi, then do not use it. From your KDE desktop Alt+F2 will open a box to run a command. In the box type kdesu kedit /etc/fstab After prompting you for root password a simple text editor will open in superuser mode. Alternatively kdesu konqueror will open up a root copy of konqueror so you can browse for files and edit them with a right click There used to be a menu item for this, but for some unexplained reason Mandrake took it out in 9.2 derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
