Description of problem: Make sure your test system is up-to-date Open a terminal type: su - [user@localhost ~]$ su - this action should change the terminal to superuser mode [root@localhost ~]# type: kwrite gets the following response: [root@localhost ~]# kwrite Executing KWrite as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit <file> type: [root@localhost ~]# SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit test.txt results in: [root@localhost ~]# SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit test.txt -bash: sudoedit: command not found This all used to work and still does if you bring up M6 in a Live-DVD Has something changed or do I not understand something? Thanks
