With the help provided I can now log in as root. in F 11.  Where I am 
trying to get to may or may not be a problem in F 11 but, beyond a doubt 
was in F 10!  Trying to install Flash 10 in  Opera required a start from 
within the X11 environment.  I never did figure out how to do that.

Now in Fedora 11 I am trying to figure out that problem.  Yep, I am a 
Newbie who only has two websites running on Linux platforms in my living 
room!  I am really trying to learn the inner workings of Linux.

Thanks for the Help.  I can at least Putty in as root now!  BTW, my job 
keeps me away from my servers about 255 days per year so logging in as 
root is very important!

Thanks All!
