The mbse version is some what inmaterial but what I said in an earlier post is
valid. A recap :-

Ubuntu type systems do not set up access to root login so you need to cheat.

As you can process root priv. processes by using sudo then thats the way to go
by :

In a terminal program of your choice do

1.  sudo su
  Enter password for the admin user - usually you.
Assuming set up is correct you will see something like

[vince@Applewood ~]$ sudo su
[sudo] password for vince:
[root@Applewood vince]#

Now you are in as root you can enter what ever commands required as per the
readme file etc.

When finished just run exit
at this point you are back as your normal user.

whoami

Which in my case does :

[vince@Applewood ~]$ whoami
vince
[vince@Applewood ~]$

Easy when you know how :)
