I would like to put internet on my DSL, but I need a root acces to install usb modem drivers ... However, when i type "sudo su" it workd
But when I use command "sudo passwd root" to activate a password for a root acces, i can enter the password and confirm but it tell me exactly this :
Code Sample
passwd: An error occurred updating the password file


By the way, DSL is impressive for a 50 mb live distrib, It turn very well on a 233mhz 6years old computer..;

Thx for your help every body

Bye bye =)

If you decide to do a hard drive install, you will be asked to set the root password.

I don't believe there is a way to alter the root password when booting from CD, USB key, Zip, etc.

There was a bug in 0.8.0 and fixed in 0.8.1.
You can change passwords on liveCD or compressed type installs with a newer versions.
