after installing sarge it boots up to the GRUB boot screen where you type in your user name.
i was wondering if i can get it to log me in as ROOT if i want because right now it forces you to log in as a user then SU to root which i hate doing.

and yes i am aware of problems as running your system as root LOL

That is not grub that you are referring to... What you are talking about is very likely some of kdm, gdm or xdm
grub is a bootloader. It takes over the execution from the BIOS and loads the operating system, usually presenting a list of available operating systems.
kdm, gdm and xdm are display managers. Such performs a graphical login and starts the window manager or desktop environment of choice.


If it is kdm you have, then to allow root logins, edit the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, change there the AllowRootLogin=false to AllowRootLogin=true and restart kdm by /etc/init.d/kdm restart to make the change come into effect.

thanks thats what i wanted to know.
