What Ray means is to type in these commands at a console. In KDE you can look 
for the program konsole. This will give you a command console similiar to a 
DOS command prompt (But infinitely more powerful ;). You have to do these as 
the root user. That means when you open the (c/k)onsole, you must type 'su' 
and it will ask you for the root password that you specified at install time. 
If you lack konsole, all distributions will let you push CTRL-ALT-F1 and you 
will get a raw login console. Username root and your password will let you 
then type in the commands Ray Specified.
Furthermore, lacking konsole, you can try the program 'xterm' for the same 
results. Remeber to type these as the root user or you lack enough 
permissions to get things done!

I hope that lets you start on Ray's advice!
