Re: Become su in Terminal - HowTo
not too simple for noob's, but may I add ...
When as a noob's you are asked to post the results of su <command> output to us here in a forum, it can be helpful to describe an easy way to copy/paste the output to the forums. I use an arkayic method cause for some reason my copy paste doesn't seem to work in a terminal.
# sudo <command> >>$HOME/cmd.txt
then open open cmd.txt in editor and copy paste from there.
