Ease-of-use patch to klik's install
I made a patch to install to make it pop up an xterm, rxvt, konsole or gnome-terminal and su to run klik-cmg-install-root, rather than just popping up a message box telling the user to run it as root. For new users, this should be significantly nicer.
I don't know if I can properly include it here, but I'll try:

Thanks, I have uploaded it. It can be tested with
Code:
wget klik.atekon.de/client/testing/install -O -|sh
Once it is well tested on all systems, I will make it the default.
Greetings,

Speaking of working on all systems ... it didn't work on Ubuntu, apparently it needs to use gksu -a instead of just gksu.

Hi GregorR,
it doesn't work yet on Knoppix/Kanotix from Live CD (one of klik's main usage areas). Please try it there.
(You must use "sudo su" there to become root because no root password is set.)
Greetings,
