You will still get asked.

OK, thanks. I have confirmed that I'm part of the 'wheel' group with
both the 'id' and 'groups' command, thus my problems must be from not
setting the initial root password properly. So any ideas on what I'm
missing setting the root password in 8.c of the handbook? From the
chrooted environment as 'root' I issued 'passwd' and then typed in my
new password. I have also tried 'passwd root' with the same effect. Do
I need to do something different since I booted with Knoppix?
Thanks,
Drew
