su
To start up as super-user (root), you can open a konsole as a regular user. Then, enter one of two versions of the command:
"su" (but without the quotes)
This will prompt you for root's password. Or you can enter:
"su -"
This will do the same thing, but it will start a new environment with all of root's settings.
But both of the above commands require knowing root's password.
And if you're just getting started with Mepis why are you compiling the kernel?

That's the hard way. I recommend using a compiler.

Good question, Jon. The kernel in MEPIS is modular, which means just about everything/feature is complied in as a module.
He can load a module with
modprobe somemodname
and he can remove it with
rmmod somemodname
He can investigate the modules his system has available by exploring /lib/modules/2.6.15-25-386

At the end of my powers I have managed to pass to another period of my life.This means i have dumped Mepis and got Kubuntu instead.And by the way in this distro it realy works to get SU in the consol not like in Mepis.I have managed to compile the kernel and now everything is fine.It's like a Ferari instead of Ford
I apreciate your help and hope 2 help u all some day
How strange. I 'su' to
How strange.
I 'su' to root in the console all the time, using MEPIS 6.0, and I compile all sorts of stuff.
I find your complaint about MEPIS baffling, at best.
