How?
Is there a simple text editor in SuSE that will edit root files (like fstab) or will I have to learn VI, or VIM, or emacs? (kate won't work in root, and kword is not recognized.) I used to be able to do this, perhaps with a different distro, years ago. Here again is my complaint that nothing is permitted, and there's no obvious way of changing that. I am the owner of this system, and I have the root password, but I can't seem to modify anything anyway.

There is a service menu for kde that will allow you to edit root files with kwrite. It's called Edit As Root and you can find it here: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11998
The Readme file is unreadable, and just keeps unrolling, but never comes to a stop. Anyway, I have edited the file and still can't write to a floppy . --doug
