I know to gain permission i would do a"sudo -s" command.. but that doesnt work from the terminal on the installer disk. What do i type in to gain admin permission? thanks

thank you, maybe you can do me one more

 

i am trying to edit the com.apple.Boot.plist

 

but i am having trouble editing it "Nano, and pico" are not commands.

 

I am in the directory /SystemConfiguration/ what should i type from there?

 

thanks

 

edit: Well i managed to edit it in text edit.. but you got to love mac.. it saved me the liberty of changing the format of the bootlist to txt and automatically formated it as.txt (or rtf).. so now i got a good old com.apple.Boot.plist error.. i guess i will just load the install disk again.. open text edit.. and specify in save as to save as .plist.

 

IF there is a better way to do this, please tell me.
