Editing system files from within Emacs

[<Brian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jason,

I normally switch to a different virtual console with
alt-Fx, where x is the number of the console, then log in as
root to maintain the system.  After I'm done, I log out from
the root login, and switch back to the original console.

Good luck,

Brian.
