In a similar vein, the few times I ever needed root access was in the
terminal app to run certain commands. I never needed to log into the
system as root. Would be interesting to know what you want to do.

Let's get a few things straight.
1. In the first place, aside what you say to appreciate the
differences, what exactly were you trying to do that required root
access, as that is normally strongly discouraged unless it be a very
last resort.
2. Summarize for me the process that you took to enable the root
account, as depending on how you did it... (there are several ways...)
that could explain why Voiceover isn't working.

*Subject:* Root User Issue
Although one can accomplish most anything that is truly necessary
on the
Mac as an administrative user, in order to fully appreciate the
difference between an administrative user and a root user, I have
enabled the root user. Unfortunately, when I log in as the root
user, I
cannot turn VoiceOver on with command f5 as I might expect. When
I issue
this command, I continue to have a silent computer.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
