Hi Pals,

1)
How do I run a command (that actually needs root permission) in GUI?
Hmmmm, reframing it.....
I have to install an RPM. From the terminal I issue the command......
sudo rpm -i .........
And it does the trick.... (as my usename has been added in the sudo file).
Now, if I want to do the same thing from GUI.. (Double click the tar file), it stops me and asks for the root password...!!
How do I go about?

2)
where do i place the program files (first of all, can I move the executables from the place they have been installed by rpm?) so that they appear in one of the menu items in my start menu....Say in the programming group (after Emacs etc)...
