I can boot with a live cd (it happens to be Mint because it's all I

trouble with file permissions trying to save my /home directory.
Unfortunately when I try "sudo nautilus" however my hard disk is not
even visible (and I get a permission denied message) although it is
visible without the sudo but without the necessary permissions.
I remember somebody saying it's dangerous to do sudo nautilus, but OK
to do gksudo nautilus. Can't remember why.

Hope that reminds you of the reasoning behind it.
