Hi there,
I am what they call definatly a newbie when it comes to Linux. I had
obtained the three CD set of Mandrake-Linux version 7.0 with an
autoboot install floppy disk. This came with NO instructions, just the
CDs and the disk.
I am having a few questions, so please help
Richard,
You must become "root" to change configurations rather than just
a regular user. Root can do powerful (and potentially disastrous) changes
to your system, so best not to be "root" all the time.
The command line:
su
which stands for super user, asks for root's login and password.
/ / _
---/ / (_)__ __ __
--/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ /
-//_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
