How to configure Konqueror for / ?

[Larry Alkoff]

I apologize for my oversight in not explaining my findings.  It's 
especially unforgivable because I hate it when others do this.

First the thread that helped me was
konqueror not displaying all folders (edgy) in October 2006.

Konqueror _seems_ to have two distinct modes as a File Browser or Web 
Browser selected in Settings -> Load View Profile -> Kubuntu File 
Manager or Kubuntu Web.

Make sure File Manager is selected.

Use F9 to bring up a side menu with a column of icons on the left and a 
column of folders to the right of that starting with Home Folder and 
including all folders in the home directory.  I think you have to do 
something else to show hidden files that start with a dot.

The Home Folder is selected with an icon on the left side that looks 
like a little house.  However, down near the bottom of the left side 
icons is one that looks like a file folder and says Root Folder.

Selecting Root Folder changes the column of folders to those in the / 
directory in a form easy to browse with the mouse.
