you will start up with the 'user'-account, just enter 'user' or 'root' as password, then press 'enter',

it's just some sort of over-precautious shit, sorry :lol: (you can't be paranoid enough)

1.) su
2.) type in 'user' or 'root'
3.) 'enter'
4.) you should be in the root account
5.) Have fun :wink:

if 'su' then 'enter' doesn't work, try 'sudo su' then enter 'user' or 'root' as password, that should work
as far as I know I always use the combination:
'sudo su', 'enter', then 'user', 'enter'

(ah, well, yes - now I remember - something must be broken with the direct 'su' command, so the last mentioned should definitely work)

good luck :)

if that doesn't work please provide the direct link to the release which you downloaded, then I'll try to get it 'working' :idea:

Well, in fact su does not work, but I just found that sudo su does. Yay!

Yes, exactly that: sudo su, not just su, lol

Thanks very much for the answer (and for the next release, you may want to drop that password :D)...

Ah ok... :cry:
I understand it takes a lot of time preparing liveCDs releasing them publicly. Anyway, thank you very much for your contribution, it really helped me so far. Thanks, it looks like a very nice liveCD: works very well for me now that the password issue is solved :D
