here is what I get when I try to edit a file
bill@Kanotix:~$ su
Password:
root@Kanotix:/home/bill# kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0
root@Kanotix:/home/bill#
any help would be appreciated |

Hi!
Use "sux" instead of "su". |

Try:
$ kdesu kwrite
and type in your root password when the window comes up and prompts you for it. I've found kdesu often works better than trying to directly launch from a root prompt. |

or use mcedit in the terminal:
#mcedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
or just mc if you need to also navigate around your file system. |

| Thx all three suggestions work perfectly -- why doesn't "su" + pass not work. This is my first try at debian. |
