How to get Root access in Mandriva Linux
From a Terminal window, enter:
su
This gives you superuser access using the user’s environment
eg. home is
/home/<user>
If you want to have superuser access as the Root user then enter:
su -
This uses the Root user’s environment eg. home is /root.
You can then enter the name (still in the Terminal session) of an app to run, such as Konqueror:
konqueror
and run it as Root.
