How can i do? First of all -- don't log in as root. That's a very, very bad idea. Use sudo or su - to become root as needed for single operations. You can copy and paste text from a console session. Try this: 1. Type "cat >> filename" and press enter 2. Highlight the text you want to copy (left-click and drag to select) 3. Middle click. Your text should be pasted to STDIN, which cat is redirecting into the file "filename". Press Ctrl-D to close the file and return to a command prompt. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
