<div dir="ltr">Hi Donald,<br><br>You may see if you can install the sudo package for Suse, with the Suse package manager - otherwise, if you can get to a root command prompt (How about typing 'su -' in the command prompt, and entering your root password?) then run any of the commands that start with sudo, but with the word "sudo" removed - i.e. if the command was "sudo vi /etc/somefile" then just run the "su -" command, then at the root prompt, run "vi /etc/somefile"<br>
<br>Hope that helps,<br>-Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Donald G <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dlg_grdnr7@yahoo.com">dlg_grdnr7@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply. I read thru most of the tutorial and tried the first part. The problem is that it is written for Ubunto Linux and my machine came with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Suse</span> Linux so it was difficult to follow although I found the Gnome text editor and terminal. I could not get the terminal to recognize "sudo"; it just said error 'command not found' or something like that. Any other ideas for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Suse</span> Linux??<br>
