Hi All,
Just another nail in the CLI, which you might find useful.
Have you ever installed a Distro only to find that the mounted partitions you were so keen to preserve, are now locked down with Root having the only read/write permissions?
Well it used to be a quick visit to a console and su or sudo, into FStab and MStab, to change them, but you don't need to do that any more.
Simply right click on the partition or folder which is currently locked down and select 'open as Root', once in the folder or partition right click on blank space and select properties, then permissions and change them.
The jobs a good 'un.
Quite where 'Dolphin' leaves Linux overall security is another question, as I wasn't prompted for any Root password, gulp!

Just as easy to right click to open run dialog, type konqueror and run as root. It will req a password.
right click on folder and open permissions. been doing it that way since 6.06
If dolphin lets you do that there must be someting wrong. Mind i have just opened dolphin and can't find a run as root (on heron)
Is there another word for "synonym"?
Where do forest rangers go to get away from it all?
Why is the word "abbreviation" so long?

Hi Sparky, it might be an open with.
Dolphin isn;t a standard application in the Mint 5 KDE distro I achieved it on, still makes you wonder?

Or in some distros you can press Alt+F2 and enter gksudo nautilus or gksudo thunar, right-click and change properties as desired.
