Here's another suggested tweak for a future version of DSL...

A Fluxbox menu item for "Emelfm as Super-User" that is similar to the "MC as Super-User" menu item.

This way emelfm users won't need to open a Root Xterm and launch emelfm from the command line anymore.

if you run emelfm as super-user then it looks wierd and some stuff is gone,
this is nothing though, try running fluxbox as root!!!

If you open a root shell, then open emelfm, you'll have everything the same as usual..

If you "sudo su" , then "emelfm &" ,
your emelfm doesn't have "edit" "mydsl" etc.

But if you use the menu option   Xshells > Root Access ,
then type " emelfm & " you'll have everything..

or

in a dsl shell type
"sudo /bin/bash"  
then   "emelfm &"

It will do the same thing ..
