When I need Root on a Desktop, I bring up a shell, enter "su -" and give it the Root Password. Note, Debian (at least in the Expert Installation Mode) lets me set a Root Password. Ubuntu doesn't, so one of my early actions after the Install is to enter "sudo su -" and, on the resulting Root Shell, type "passwd root". On a Virtual Terminal, I simply login as Root on one terminal, and on the next one, sign on as my "Normal User" (and then do most of my work there). I know there have been Discussions here about sudo vs "su -". They both work, but both can get you in trouble (but possibly in different ways). Kenneth Parker Kenneth Parker >
