Ok, When I usually set up a debian install on a computer, the setup program prompts me for a Root users password, Then I can log onto root for administrative tasks and avoid Typing Sudo Into the Terminal all of the time.

I decided to see What all the hubub with Ubuntu 7 was, and installed it on a computer at my house. It never prompted me for a root pass, and even when I define one in the terminal window... The log-on screen says I cannot log on as admin Through the main logon window.

Thusly, I cannot install Wine or Any programs that don't have Package installers because I don't have privelages to modify anything in /usr/.

Any Idea on how to fix this?
