Add yourself to the wheel group, and then you'll be able to su to root.
I thought I did that with the '-G wheel' option I passed to useradd. I also think that if I'm not part of the wheel group, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to enter a password after doing 'su'. How can I check to be sure I'm part of the wheel group?
Thanks,

I've followed the directions in the handbook and installed from a Knoppix boot. I've made it all the way to section 10.d (reboot). However upon reboot, I'm presented with a login prompt. I log in as root and enter the password I set in section 8.c but it tells me 'login incorrect'. I boot Knoppix again, perform the required steps and enter my chroot environment. I repeat section 8.c and reset the password. I also move ahead to section 11 and create a user account for myself, passing along '-G wheel', so I can su if necessary. I reboot again back to Gentoo but get the same problem when logging on as root. I can log on with the new user account I've created but 'su' does not work (can't setguid), probably due to the same password issue I have when logging on as root.
Any idea? I'm almost there.
Thanks,
