well, I use "photorec foo.img" where foo.img is the disk dump.
As a regular user (not advanced) I run photorec without any options. It says I must be root. WTF? Please check yourself. And manpages are installed in man8. We know that 'man 8' is for programs installed in sbin for root usage only. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
