Logging in as root

You can login as root after a power–up or after exiting X–Windows.

  1. Type: root
  2. In the login prompt, press ENTER and type the root password.

You are now in a full screen terminal. This is not as convenient as X–Windows since only one terminal can be displayed on the screen.

tip If you need a second full screen terminal, type ALT+F2. You can return to your original terminal by typing ALT+F1. The other function keys can provide additional terminals.
