Access to the Console

Abstract

This menu entry simply opens a virtual terminal console for the root user. You can use it to issue any command, but be careful! There are no restrictions on the actions you can take on the machine as root and you could render your machine unusable.

To learn how to use the command line interface, you should read the Introduction to the Command Line chapter of the Mandrakelinux Reference Manual. To exit from the console, type exit, or press the Ctrl-D keys.
