Ok, slightly off topic, but I want to add an entry to my fstab file,

Code: Select all

    mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222

    /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,umask=0222                         0 0
But how do I do it under root? I have to be under root to do it, i believe.

Yes, you can just log into a shell as root and type

Code: Select all

nano -w /etc/fstab
to add your line. I used to chmod 777 configfile :lol-old: to open configuration files! The easier, and indeed safer way is to just run a text editor as root...you get privs to all "root files."

PS: To make shelling easier, right click your panel (assuming you're in KDE) and add -> specail button "Terminal Sesions."
