I logged in as 'root' but the system did not take my password (for root). I know the passsword is correct. I (obviously) wrote it down and had to enter it two times during the initial install. I googled, "debian squeeze, how to log in as root' and found this site that is suggesting 'How to enable gnome root login on Debian 6 (Squeeze)'. http://www.pathin.org/tutorials/debian-6-howto-enable-gnome-root-login-on-debian-6-squeeze/ The link starts off by suggesting I log in as user and then enter the following initial command. 1 | su root 2 | gedit I went to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal (I assume this is how to open a terminal) and was presented with terminal window that said: myname@systemname:~$ (blinking cursor) Is this where I'm suppose to be at?
