Chris,
I found a simple way around this one. Log into the console as 'root'
and create another account for yourself. When you want to be 'root'
from your terminal, login with the new username and do a "su" from the
prompt. When you've given the root password, you'll have 'root'
privileges from the terminal. I, too, didn't need to do this with
Slackware.
