The system will then ask you for the password. Annotation: better use "su" nearly always as "su -", which is the short form for "su -l" and does not only changes UID and GID but makes it a login shell. Otherwise you will get not environment set (no root's PATH, etc.). It is not neccessary to say "su - root" as "su -" takes root's login shell by default. > To mount manually an ISO to the harddisk, you need to create an empty > folder (mkdir) and then > mount -t iso9660 -o loop /source/of/iso /folder/target > > On this way I successfully mounted an iso file on the harddisk.
