I love FreeBSD so far; prepping to make it the host OS on my primary personal PC.
I installed KDE and see that I do have the ability to use su and sudo for various things. However, let's say I need to get a root command prompt before the desktop loads, what's the best way to do that? Single user mode? I so far have been using single user mode for some installs but I wonder if there's a more popular / useful way to log into root.
One thing I noticed when the system boots up into KDE is I get a login prompt but it pretty quickly disappears: i don't have time to enter root and the password. Can I / should I stop the desktop from quickly loading to log into root?
