[gentoo-user] root on newest livedvd ?

2014-09-30 Thread James
livedvd-amd64-multilib-20140826.iso


The old livedvd, to get root access it was sudo su -

which does not see to work. Ideas on the new
syntax to get root access.


Also, is it straightforward to install a secondary
ebuild package on this latest livedvd that is not
part of the iso?


curiously,
James

Doesn't just 'su -' (no sudo) work?

How about sudo -i or sudo -s?
