I have another PC only with Gnome, how do i start a console as root directly without switching users? i had to use this "trick" ssh -l root 127.0.0.1 to have access to all the commands. help me please. greetings, Guillermo Garron -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
