Further to the previous information, when freespire installs, it will ask for a user name and below that ask for an admin password. This actually is not the admin password but the user's password. After logging in as user, do a 'sudo passwd root' and enter a new root password. With this password, su as root add edit the /etc/sudoers file to add the user with proper sudo privileges and remove the no password option for root. This is necessary for proper security. Exit from su and you never need to login again as root. The CRN package manager is not necessary for package management. In the gui terminal, run 'apt-get install synaptic' This will install the gui for apt. Run this package after installation and for the first time it will update information from 156 repos and you now have a shopping list of about 20K packages to view and choose from. Regards, Rony.
