Hi folks,

Knoppix 4.0

Please advise how to start Knoppix as Root instead of User. Because;

1)
avoidng "su" to mount HD

2)
Applications can't read files in mounted partitions, unless they were started as Root (i.e. after su).

Running
# mount /dev/xyz /mnt/xyz
# mount -o remount,rw /mnt/xyz

Did not solve the problem.

TIA

B.R. and Happy New Year.

If you right-click on the hard drive icon on the Knoppix desktop, you will see an option for "Actions", select that and choose the option to change read/write mode.

To access root in a terminal, just open a terminal and type "su" and don't enter a password.

There should also be a Root Console in knoppix.
