Problem installing Fedore Core 2

mahoneys
I decided to install Fedora Core 2 in place of the RedHat 9 I had been running. I ordered the CDs from CheapBytes, backed up my important files, booted from CD 1.

SonyBoy
Hi, I'm a beginner with Linux and I would like to change the permissions of some folders (on another partition) to make them writable (change to 777). The only way to do it is to log as ROOT if I understand correctly.
