"Superuser" mode?

[varaonaid]

Hi,

I have a question. I've been moving over to Linux from Windows and finally found a home with Mint KDE (love it!). However, there's one feature from a previous distro that I miss: a superuser mode for browsing files. I can do a little of the command line stuff but sometimes, I just really miss "drag and drop". However, the permissions issues get in the way and I'm not sure how to, for lack of a better explanation, drag and drop in "sudo" mode. If anyone could offer any insights and help on this, I would be most appreciative!

Thanks so much!

This is actually a feature that was missing in Bianca Gnome but that we put in Bianca KDE. Open the menu, go to System and choose "Krusader - root mode".

This superuser functionality is easily added to GNOME Bianca, for any file manager.

Use the Preferences > Menu Layout section to add the command gksu nautilus as a menu item, for example.

Thanks SO much! You solved it for me. It's exactly what I was looking for.

I strongly advise against this ... One accidental "drag & drop" in the wrong place and your system is hosed

Trust me ... when I started with Linux back in 1996 I also had to learn it the hard way ...
