[11:51] <victor__> I have downloaded a zip file and need to unzip it to a directory requiring root permissions.  Am using the gui interface for extraction.  When I press "Extract", it tells me that the target directory irequires root permission.  How do I get that and finish the job?
[11:54] <krytarik> victor__, run "gksudo file-roller" via the Alt+F2 dialog, enter your admin password, open the archive, and then continue as you which.
