to edit files that require root privaledge simply type
Code:
su -
the - after su is important.
once done, you are logged in as root, and can edit files using a variety of methods, the editor i'd suggest you learn is called 'vi' and while it appears hard to use at first you'll get the hang of it after a while
vi /path/to/some/file
to see your hard discs as root type
Code:
fdisk -l
thats -l as in larry
cheers
