In case the computer will prompt you to issue root password or to hit
ctl-D to continue, you will have to switch to
MaV's method. That behaviour, which is standard on Debian Linux and is
not on RedHat and Mandrake, means
that you have sulogin program installed and set up. sulogin ensures that
root account can not be used without
proper permission.
