RE: [cobalt-developers] root access to qube3

["Pierre Maloka" <Pierre_Maloka@xxxxxxx>]

I am new to qube as well.

This is all done using telnet.
1) So first, enable telnet in your Qube using the Admin tools (web pages).
2) I use WinME, so I open a dos box and run telnet (telnet.exe).
3) Login to your Qube as admin, use your admin password.
4) Then type "su -" and then enter the admin password again.

when you are done, type "logout" to return to admin.

Hope this works for you as well...

If anyone knows a better way, please let me know.

Anyone know how to setup a KDE or GNOME front end for the Qube3?

Hey COBALT, how about including instructions for X and VNC?

I sure don't like using klunky text editors in telnet...
