First of all, thank you for a great product. I can't understand how Knoppix configures all my hardware when the commercial disto I have been using cannot

Unfortunately, I have the same problem as those above. I am used to having a root account and a user account. After install Knoppix 3.7 on my hardrive, which went without a hitch, I cannot login as root to make system changes. I did an apt-get update-dist and now I cannot login as root to make changes to the system which require "root privledges"

I tried the above, however this also requires root, so I'm stuck. I hate to re-install Knoppix and go through another 8 hrs of download just because I don't have root priveleges.

Can someone assists

thanks, paul
