I am preparing for a hardrive install and was wondering how to set a root password.  I tried typing sudu in the xterm; but it was an unrecognized account.  With su I need a password, and the change password command asks for an old password.  Can anyone help me setting a root password so that I can install dsl please.  

Thank you for your time,
