You have rootsh installed ?
Start X Terminal.
Type "sudo gainroot", hit return.
Type "emelfm2" hit return.
emelfm2 starts up.
After closing it you are back in xterm, hit Ctrl-D twice, one takes you out of root, the second closes xterm.
Google for linux mv (move command) and linux cp (copy command),
and any amount of inatructions turn up.
EDIT: close race, second again.

If you use it often, you can set EmelFM2 as a launcher in Personal Menu, and check off the option "Run as Root". Then your 2 taps away from having EmelFM2 with root privileges.

i just wondered something can we become root in emelfm2
it would be very useful
because everytime i need to copy files to system folders such as /usr/bin , I use cp command via terminal to copy files to those folders.
so if we can be root in emelfm2 it would be really easy to copy files to these folder
right?
or is there anyway to copy files to these folders easier that i dont know?
