edit] Q: What is the root password?

Using FAQ - Knoppix Documentation Wiki
There is none; all passwords are locked/scrambled by default; you set one yourself for those situations which call for it. You can set the root password by going to Knoppix Menu->Root Shell and typing "passwd", then entering a root password. In Version 5.0.1 you can also go to Knoppix Menu -> Configure -> Set password for root. There are several sections you can read dealing with this subject in KNOPPIX/README_Security.txt.

edit] Q: I downgraded from GnuCash 2.2 to 2.0; what's up with this ROOT account?

FAQ - GnuCash
The Root account is an internal change in the 2.2 code, introduced by the removal of the AccountGroup data structure. (Accounts are now their own grouping construct, but we still need a top-level "Root" account to take the place of the old top-level AccountGroup.) If you're planning on sticking with your 2.0 install for a while, then you can re-parent each child of the "Root" Account to be a top-level account, then remove the Root account.

Ark Linux FAQ - ArkWiki
If you're seeing a login prompt after installation, something went wrong (probably your graphics card wasn't detected correctly). You should be taken right to a graphical desktop (of course, once in the desktop, you can configure it to act more like a traditional Linux/Unix system and set passwords -- just launch the user manager or, if you like command line tools, open K -> System -> Command Line Interpreter (Super User Mode) and use passwd).

edit] Q: What are the solutions to the "Still waiting for root device" message?

Technical faq - OSx86
The most common solution is making your OSX drive the primary IDE. Try disconnecting all the other hard drives, make the OSX drive IDE0, using either cable-select or Master jumper settings. In my particular case, Darwin only sees the "root device" if it's in the primary IDE slot. A2: Try many boot option: platform=X86PC -v -x -v rd=disk0s* -v (replace the * with your OS X partition number) -f -v

Interrogator is not a SUID program or a SGID program, it's just a regular X windows application program that works a lot with the file system. You don't need the root password to install it. It creates no security holes that don't already exist. far as security is concerned, Interrogator is like any shell program, combined with the common Unix programs such as ls, cp, rm, etc. Any security leaks with those programs will also show up in Interrogator, and reflects a problem with the system.
