Installing via SU Root vs Running via SU Root? Help Please :(
by HaroldHamer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HZHA)
Complete linux noob.Running debian and so far, absolutely love it, but scared because I don't understand much yet.
I'm trying to install wine on Debian so I may install Photoshop.
When I am using terminal, the installation process will not work unless I use SU ROOT and then proceed, i have used SU root to install all programs on Debian. (tell me if this is wrong/stupid) as otherwise it prompts for a password which doesn't work.
Part of the installation process that follows then says "running wine with sudo is highly discouraged". Am I doing something wrong? My understanding is that you need to use SU ROOT to install, but I am guessing there's a difference between using it to install and running a program?
Help would be awesome! Thanks
