If you're on Mandrake 10 official, try this:
System -> Configuration -> KDE -> System -> Login Manager
You'll be asked for your root password.
Click on the User tab,
and then untick root in the Hidden Users box.
Logout, and voila! you should have root on the login
screen.
Of course, I'm assuming you're using KDE desktop.
If this doesn't work, I shall sit quietly till I come up
with another smartass idea to annoy the list.
Cheers,
Edwin
