    Becoming root

    Hello all,

    When I run the GTK+ installer, it tells me I must be root to run it. How do you become root? I'm using XFce as my GUI.

    Could be tricky installing GTK+ to a read-only file system too.

    Come on, let's be generous and honest here. No question is obvious unless you know the answer.
