Sorry if I'm being a pain, but, I guess I don't know the difference between being in root and xterm. I thought xterm was like getting a "C: Prompt "window in Msoft XP. I thought one had to install "BecomeRoot" in order to get a "C: prompt" (or $ or # or whatever).

Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can understand this better?
