Thank you for the reply Markus. First of all Knoppix is great, I just have to get used to using Debian which has not been tweaked with additional gui additions. Originally after the hd install I could not log on as root in the pop up window to do Administrative tasks. I could log on as root by typing "su" in a command window.

So I got out my Linux Administration and Installation Guide and after opening the console, I typed su. The root command "#" appeared without a password. I then typed "passwd" and a line appeared asking for the new password. I typed in my new password twice and then typed "exit" twice.

I can now logon as root when asked for a password and make administrative changes when needed.

Thank you for your reply, paul
