6. Access to the Console

This tool 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 your machine as root, and you could render your machine unusable.

To learn how to use the command line interface, you should read the Introdução a Linha de Comando chapter of the Mandriva Linux Manual de Referência . To exit the console, type exit or press Ctrl-D.
