    root password on Live DVD 5.1.1 EN ??

    hi everybody,

    I have been using the knoppix live CD 5.1.1 DE a few times for partitioning/system recovery and I was never asked for a password.
    Now I tried the DVD 5.1.1 EN and it asks me for a password when I want to start system tools like qtparted. What's the point of having a root pw on a distributed, bootable DVD? And what is it? I'm really lost here...

    You have to set your own root password.
    Bring up the Knoppix (Penguin icon) menu, click on Root Console, and type in
    Code:
    passwd root
