Root stuff

[Jeff Mings]

For this kind of thing, I usually just start up the file manager 
(knoqueror for me) in superuser mode.  If you don't have a shortcut, 
just start up a terminal, use su -l to be come root,  and then do what 
you want at the command prompt, or start up your file manager - e.g., 
konqueror.
