I just now installed Woody and did a simple installation using only tasksel. So Gnome is the display manager. However, it does not allow me to login as root. I need to install OpenOffice and to do that I have to login as root but not from the console. How can I get past this problem?
You probably have to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and set 'AllowRoot' to 'true'.After modifying the file do not forget to restart gdm. A logout from the X session should do this, or in case it doesnt help, just press ctrl+alt+del.
Hope that helps, Harry
