i just try to mount /dev/fd0 as binary,
and now when i try to tar tvf /dev/fd0, i get :
tar: Cannot open /dev/fd0: Not super-user
but i am logged as admin !
I have also try to do mkpasswd and mkgroup and modify the passwd file
to put the UID 0 , so that the 'id' command say that i am root
but i have still the Not super-user error message !
Any idea for this ?
Thank by advance .
