-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Errr... why don't you just open a normal xterm and then type "su" at the prompt. It should ask you for the root password, which you can then type in, press enter, and viola! Terminal with root privileges.
Alternatively, if su hasn't been set up, sudo probably has. You can accomplish something similar with a shell escape. sudo sudo /bin/bash With sudo, you type in your user password, rather than the root password.
