Permissions

[mwinn22]

I was wondering how I can get the root permission on my user... Im really new to fedora 10 and I'm sorry if this question is answered somewhere in the forums I tried to look... Thanks.

User accounts can run tasks with root privs either via sudo or becoming root after logging in with the "su" command.

ok I got that much now say I want to move a file into the lib folder how would i do that in terminal? Thanks for the reply!

assuming the file is in your home folder and needs to be moved /lib ??? most likely /usr/lib


su -
( your root password when asked )
cd /to/where/the/file/is
( cd /home/your-user-name )
cp the-name-of-the-file /usr/lib

see


cp --help
mv --help

You might have to do some chown stuff too - exactly what are you trying to install/change?
