This will ask you for your root password, and then open a GUI file browser for you to drag and drop your files.

I have been around the block with Knoppix a few times and the most irritating thing about KDE is typing in the root password each and every friggin time that i want to do some admin thing. Any ideas on how to make it really remember my password.

Thanks,
Joe

There are very good reasons why you're asked for your root password whenever you want to do any "admin things". I would highly recommend you not run with root privileges all the time.
