Switch to one of Knoppix's text consoles to login as root. I think=20
/etc/issue says what the root password is. You could also try a blank=20

Knoppix shuts down as soon as you exit X, so you can't login as a root X=20
user.

I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
My key was last signed 10/14/2003. If you use GPG *please* see me about=20
signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. ***
