You tried "sudo su" from a terminal and that did not work?
That's not good. I rely on that when I use any live CD.

Have you tried Mepis or Knoppix? I like to use the USB home directory feature of Knoppix, it works great.

And as for "what good is" it well for a coaster of course, because we all need more coasters.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if the Gentoo guys were on drugs, or if I'm over tired, but I 
can't for the life of me gain root access using the live cd. What good is a 
live installation cd that doesn't allow me to do anything?

Am I missing something here? 

Nick
