I've installed it several times without error. Root is disabled, but 
during the install a 'root' user (the only user) is created, and root 
actions are done using sudo as that user.

IMHO, It's a nice distro, easy install, debian based, but they have 
their own packages. No guarantees if you enable the "universe" of debian 
packages. Gnome based, instead of the pervasive KDE. And gnoppix is now 
based on ubuntu.
