It's "rootme" if I am not mistaken. If I am, search the forums for "becomeroot".
(Man, there was a becomeroot question just a few days ago... the youth nowadays...

In order to become root you need an app called "becomeroot" once installed, you'll type "sudo gainroot" in the command line.

I did a "dpkg -i /home/user/gngeo.deb"
and was given a "unpacking gngeo"... and then.."dpkg error processing /home/user/gngeo.deb... error setting ownership of './meda/mmc1/roms': operation not permitted..."
I'm doing this because for somereason I'm unable to install gngeo from the maemo website. so a great user suggested installing it from xterm.

I think the problem could be that its looking to install/unpack the program into "/meda/mmc1/roms" but the directory doesnt exist...

it worked. i was able to get it to install by creating the /meda/mmc1/roms directory. (I guess it was looking for that spot to install). thanks guys! too bad non of the roms work.. hehe
hehe
and it says I dont have the right privileges...
so when I try to do a Su command. it asks me for a password. how do I find out this password ?
