How to make the /boot accessble?

[frankwei]

Hi,

I'm new to SUSE linux. I'm learning to build a new linux kernel. The first problema I'm having is when I try to copy the complied image to the /boot directory I got a "Permission denied" message.

How to make the /boot directory accessble?

you must be logged in as root or gain root privileges using 'su -'

su -

copy files now.

Thanks Casper. But I tried to gain the root privileges by using 'su-' and another message came out "No such file or directory". I'm guessing the image is in my user directory(?) if so how to copy the image from a user directory to the /boot under root?

Cheers,

well, if you're root, should be no problem
if not, try "su" to become root

[devils casper]

there is space between su and -.
you can copy file from anywhere to anywhere after gaining root privileges.
execute this

whoami
su -
whoami

this will tell you if you are root or not.
