try sudo su on a console.
I must change a file to let my scanner work in Knoppix.
But when I want to save this file , I don't have write permissions. I only can do that as "root".
I already created a password for "Root" , but how can I login as root?

Well I gurss you know about su and sudo on knoppix live cd to go from $ to #.You say you created the passwd already if so then to login type :Originally Posted by Mogiin
#login root <then passwd when asked>
#login user <then passwd when asked>
$su <passwd when asked>
$login <name and passwd when asked>
#login <name and passwd when asked>
Get the idea?
Hey there;
One of the nicer little tricks in Knoppix is "Run as a different user (GKsu)" You can find it under the K-menu > System > Run as a different user (GKsu).
When it starts, you should type in kedit as the program to run, and make sure it is running as root (you'll see... pretty self-explanatory). From there, open the XXXX.conf file you're editing in the SANE directory and when you're done editing, just save it. Because this program is running as root, you will have the required root permissions.
I find GKsu so useful, I have it's icon in my kicker.
Good luck!

Thnx , I hope my scanner will work now
Well it's still not working.
I think I logged in as Root , but still can't modify the "hp.conf" file. No write permissions.
Please help...
chmod o+w hp.conf should make the file writeable for root.I think I logged in as Root , but still can't modify the "hp.conf" file. No write permissions.
