I normally use a Ubuntu based system with a KDE front-end (the MEPIS 6 distro), so these things are a bit of a puzzle for me too. On MEPIS, there's a system menu entry for "File Manager - Super User mode", which is what I'd use for this (if you want a GUI interface). It seems that you can do the same on Ubuntu/Gnome by typing the command in the console: sudo nautilus and then giving your password. "nautilus" is the Gnome GUI file manager. > Also, on a side note, is there an invert selection command in Gnome? > It would rock if I need to select all but very few files. In a GUI window? Select all and then CTRL-click on the items that you want to deselect. CTRL-click toggles the selection of an item. I think that's the same as Windows. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
