Anyone know how to become root if I dont have acces to Linux?

I don't know if this was documented or not, but the VMWare Player does not automatically attach the Nokia device. AFTER plugging it in and turning it on, you must click the "Nokia Mobile Phone Device" that shows up in the title bar of the virtual machine... so it is "white" instead of "blue"
I just walked someone through this and it took me 20 minutes to figure out that the device was attached to the PC but not the VM

Is Ubuntu VMWare Player Virtual Environment necessary? I have been trying to download this from ubuntu.com for 2 days now and it downloads at about 2kb/s and then times out after about 10 hours of downloading. Are there any other virtual enviroments i can use? Is all i need a live linux cd? Or must I use ubuntu? Anyone have any links besides http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-5.10.zip ? Thanks for any help.

champ, try this link:
http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-rele...stall-i386.iso
This is an install cd. The best way to use it is to create a new virtual machine in vmware. Give it about 2 gigs of storage and mount this ISO as the CDROM drive.
When you start the vertual machine, it will install linux and then you will be able to install and use the scratchbox and other maemo development tools.
Good Luck!

Also, as I mentioned elsewhere, a simple Linux live CD like Knoppix works just fine, without installing anything to your PC.

So would Damn Small Linux on a usb pen drive work?
Also, out of curiosity, I barely ever use functionality that required me to be root (all I've used it for so far was to put some apps in the path statement and to modify my menus)... I'm just wondering, are people enabling root because they want to or because they need to?
