First if you are a MandrakeClub member you can install an RPM containing 
mgmt.o from the download site, or if you have a Powerpack it is on your 
'Commercial' CD.

Second. To write to any 'system' folder you have to do it as root. If you are 
running KDE the simplest way is
KMenu>Applications>FileTools>FileManager(SuperUserMode)

You are now running a root version of konqueror in which you can just click on 
the tar package to open it, and drag/drop mgmt.o into the correct location

[newbie] I can't seem to find mgmt.o for my speedtouch USB modem

2003-10-31 Thread Marco Hoefman
Hi everybody,

could anybody help me please? I've downloaded the speedtouch package and
unpacked the tar. But I can't seem to find the file called mgmt.o , is it
downloadable somewhere?
My second question is: As soon as I try to copy something to the root folder
I get the message that I don't have the privileges to write in that folder.
With the installation I didn't enter a password for the root but now I can't
figure out how to be able to write into the root folders (which is
nescessary to install the new ADSL speedtouch drivers)... do I have to log
in as an admin?
Please help this Newbie!
TIA :-)
