Don't su in X, sux instead. Example: cd /usr/src/linux sux - password: make xconfig Or use sudo (requires some elementary vi skills, unless you set your EDITOR variable to something else, but why should you -vi rocks!) 1. As root run the command visudo 2. Enter something like this, replacing Anders with your login name: Anders ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL ( Now you can run commands as root -even in X - without logging in as root if you precede your commands with sudo.) 3. cd /usr/src/linux && sudo make xconfig BTW menuconfig is IMHO far more user-friendly. lördagen den 6 april 2002 23.12 skrev PR:
