Yes thats what I thought !

I tried sudo and get "Command not found" !   So I tried "su" !  When I 
use the password I use for login, it tells me that its the wrong one !

Whilst I can get at the files I want from the other installed system 
(SuSE)  It doesn't help someone who only has Wins and Kunbunto.  ie a 
new user !

The "Help system" isn't much use either !  Being pointed to the "Man 
Pages"  makes it obvious that the root password is needed !
