Notice it complains about _me_ not knowing the root password - which I do, as I prove myself trying to "su", which works. Then I see the 'sudo' word there in the error message... thus I try my own password:

[...] The sudo program is complaining that I'm not in the sudoers list - which is correct, the instructions do not mention anything about sudo - but the script still complains that I do not know the root password. Confusing.
It seems your sudo configuration differs from the current SUSE one. On my system, I have (unchanged according to rpm -V): # grep '^[^#]' /etc/sudoers Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'! root ALL=(ALL) ALL It can be discussed if "Defaults targetpw" is a good idea (I don't believe so) - but most probably this setting won't be changed back. Houghi: maybe using "su" would be a better idea...
Is the opensuse link above correct, or has it got to be modified to add the "sudo" instructions? I don't know what commands I need to add to the sudo configuration,
My guess: mount -o loop isofile mountpoint (and matching umount) Houghi, the remaining questions are for you ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Zu Schade, daß der ASCII-Zeichensatz keine kleinen Totenköpfe, Blitze, Fäuste und Bömbchen hat... [Ratti in fontlinge-devel]
