Ok, ok. Those who know more than I do. Today. I'm trying to compile and 
install kalarm, which I have downloaded and decompressed. Now the 
instructions go as follows:

    cd kalarm-1.1.6
    ./configure
    make
    [ Log in as root ]   <- !!! HOW !!!
    cd /path/kalarm-1.1.6
    make install

My question is. How does a Cygwin user (without a root account) get 
round this kidda problem?

Please resist the urge to flame. (Some of us are just new, that's all.)

Thanks,
