thanks but I am having a nightmare since I got this kubuntu, as I cannot change my privilages to su at all.
I am starting to think (k)ubuntu is mainly for people who are already linux masters, as I cannot even write to cxertain files as I have no permission.
I cannot just put in su and my password in a shell, I have to do sudo then an action, then I give my password, but thats the problem, I don't know the commands yet.
bloody linux, why is it, people want windows people to change for the better, but there are so many distros of linux to choose from, which one is best for newbiers to get a grip and learn. and when I ask some people for help, I get the classic, figure it out yourself.
I think I will try something else if not go back to Mandrake.
so I am giving up with kubuntu after just 2 days, as I cannot even write to files, or extract to certain directories as I have no permission
