to become root, simply open up your terminal;
type"su" (no quotes) then press enter;
then type your root password and press enter;
done!
hope it helped...

thanks for the reply. acutally i know how to use root in the terminal. but for something as simple as editing a file, or like i said in the previous post, moving a file into a certian folder, idrather not have to use the terminal for these tasks that should be as simple as a quick drag and drop..

open run and type the name of the application you want to use and check the box run as root/superuser. or if you have an older version of antix use gksu in run. example:
gksu leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst
gksu thunar
as fas as i know rox-filler can't be opened with gksu. you have to use /etc/sudoers and the keyboard shortcut that was set by anti in icewm or fluxbox.

if you follow my steps and open rox-filer whilst being root in the terminal you can also get a root rox-filer if i remember correctly... just to give you another option. you should just use whatever suits you the most.
