To make space, I want to move a couple of old backup files, preferably as user btth rather than as root. I want to move them from /home/btth to /opt -- and I'd rather use the FC6 GUI method (in conjunction with the new Disk Usage Analyzer in the FC6 Gnome GUI). To do that that way, without logging out and then back in as root, afaik, I need user btth to have permission to write to /opt. Since I rarely have occasion to change permissions, that means slogging through *several* man pages that come up when you tell Konqueror "man:chmod" Ten to one there's an easier way. I'm thinking, for instance, if I go into Users&Groups through the GUI, and add btth to some group that has write permission to /opt, that might do it -- maybe ..?? But what group?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora Core 6; CXO 5.0.1; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.119; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.16, Opera 9.02, Firefox 1.5 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
