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.
