Willem,

that's why I suggested you to use the command:

su -

instead of using 'sudo' or 'su'.

BUT in order to login as root, the user root MUST first have a password assign.

So, to do so, you, as a normal sudo user (for this example, you are
'tuxon') you'll assign root's password.

= Example =

login:  tuxon
thebox password:  *******************


tuxon at thebox:~$  sudo passwd
Enter UNIX password:
Re-enter UNIX password:



tuxon at thebox:~$ su -
password: **********

root at thebox:~#

Then you're ready to install as root user :D

Let us know if that works for you. However, being root user is
potentially unsecure so act on your own risk :)

May the holly tux power be with you!
