Hi,eyvind,

open a terminal or press alt + F2 and type:

gksudo nautilus

this will give you temporary control of your home folder as "root", you can install packages and make other changes, be careful what you do as all the files you create will be owned by "root".

Regards Wolfman

I am going to make a pendrive with the light Zorin 5, as a banking OS, but the driver for SIS163u wireless card is missing.
Maybe i can install the driver if I can make a folder in the home patition.
So I will try.

Thank you.
eyvind.

if possible hardwire in and and download wicd .... it has a wider range of support ... also try "windows wireless drivers" in control panel .... and see if you get anything there
