Good morning all,
I recently took advantage of the plunging prices of the G4 Power Macs and ordered a Sawtooth from a used Mac vendor online. It has a fresh version of 10.3.9 installed, 512mb of ram. I'm extremely happy with it. I have a Windows machine of the same vintage, it's no comparison.
How do I get to the root account? The machine came with a user called admin that seems to have administrator privledges, but I can't su to root in the terminal. I do have a 10.2 osx disk, but I didn't want to try and reboot from that to set the root password, since it's an earlier version.
If anyone knows the answer to my problem, I'd be gratefull.
Eric
