That's not actually true... Open a terminal and type: sudo passwd root You will then need to enter your password first, then you will be prompted to enter a password (for root) twice. Once that is done, you can just type "su" and you will become "root". If you are not entirely sure what your are doing, I probably wouldn't recommend this though, as one little slip, e.g. rm -r / could cause disaster!!!!! <snip /> > Clyde Forrester HTH Alan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
