In a terminal on the N900, do the following 3 commands:

Code:

sudo gainroot
mkdir /media/root
mount / /media/root -o bind

Now in the file manager there'll be a 'root' folder that you'll be able browse.

But:
- You're still browsing as 'user' which means you can't screw anything up too badly
- The file manager still won't show you files or directories beginning with '.'
- The mount won't persist across phone reboots (this can be solved with a bit more tinkering)

[Edit: whoops - you're not going to be able to change the bootscreen this way, sorry!]
