Re: [Trisquel-users] root password required

[greatgnu]

I recommend for trivial issues (by trivial I mean issues you can easily find  
and answer/solution to by searching on this very same forum or any search  
engine) you use a search engine. searx.me is excellent IMHO.
That being said ->

sudo passwd root and enter the psswd for the root (make it complex and long  
passphrase)
su root to become root
Also changing network or any files in / you should be perfectly capable doing  
using sudo. Hence no need to create a root account..
