   	Not so apparently because we are talking about the root to   
   the Live distribution. The root account for the new install is   
   created at the end of the install.   
   	Now with the Drakx install no root authority is needed   
   aside from BIOS setup to boot from your chosen media and turn   
   off (in)Secure Boot.   
   	Please remember that I tried the Install from the root   
   account on the pclinuxos64-kde-2016.03.iso (written to DVD)   
   twice. Each time I got "cannot copy files to root partition".   
   	Maybe I failed to mention that?   
      
   	But Aragorn I invite you to try it yourself.   
   PCLOS does not take much space on your hard drive.   
   	Your wiser eyes may find and report the problem   
   with far greater understanding.  I am just persistent, as   
   a LUG member remarked recently (like a bad infection?).
