I am not too familiar with Slackware (though I tried different versions, like  
Slax, and I forget what else); however, this does remind me of my problems 
getting started with Debian. 

In Debian, on my first install, I enter an empty password for admin, then I 
use sudo or sudo su to gain root privileges. Later, once I've got packages 
installed, etc. (including tdesudo), I create a root user, and edit my 
sudoers list. When I first install, though, I can only gain admin privileges 
in the shell (for downloading and installing pkgs, etc.), but I cannot open 
any GUI program with admin privileges using tdesu command or tdesudo. Just 
guessing that Slackware might behave in a similar manner. 

No doubt there is a better solution to this problem (and I would be glad to 
hear it myself). Yet it took me some searching in the forums to find this 
semi-solution. 

You might know more than I; but this works for me.
