some problems with PATH
Running 9.1 and are trying to get some updates. Liked what I saw with Kynaptic but if I run it under user it protests and says that it should be run as root. su -c kynaptic tells me that kynaptic cannot be found. Why is it there as I try to use it as user and cannot be found as root?

do the following to show why: echo $PATH su <password> echo $PATH exit su - <password> echo $PATH exit Compare the three $PATH's. 'man su' will explain. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
