I tried to read my partition infos with the FDISK - command and even wanted to change partitions in order to make copies of files on that new partitions.
So I suppose to support the FDISK - command which does not work because it demands a root password.

If you are running from CD:
Open up a terminal: konsole, xterm, etc. and use:
sudo fdisk /dev/hda
(if you want to use your first IDE device, etc.)
-- Or you could use:
sudo passwd root
and make a root password and then use:
su -
and then give the password, then run fdisk from the command line.
-- Or you should be able to press <CTRL><ALT><F2> and change to the 2nd console window and run fdisk from there (press <CTRL><ALT><F5> to get back to your X session).
-- Or if you have done a HD Install open up a terminal: konsole, xterm, etc. and use:
su -
and give your root passwd, then run fdisk from the command line.
-- Or use <CTRL><ALT><F2> and go to a console window and run fdisk ...
As you can see there is more than one way to do this, same thing goes for any other "root" command.
