livedvd-amd64-multilib-20140826.iso
The old livedvd, to get root access it was "sudo su -"
which does not see to work. Ideas on the new
syntax to get root access.
Also, is it straightforward to install a secondary
ebuild package on this latest livedvd that is not
part of the iso?
curiously,
James

Doesn't just 'su -' (no sudo) work?

It works, but prompts for a "password" which I do cannot
find the default password.
So no. I'm not sure what the gentoo releng team was thinking or did.

How about "sudo -i" or "sudo -s"?
