I usually use the SSH method to gain root. Install dropbear-server, ssh to root@localhost, then put in the password (default "rootme"?). Set up sudo, then log out and remove dropbear-server.

Then update program listing, look at installable programs and install 'becomeroot'. After that you'll have gainroot available.
2. In xterm, why is the LST command missing? does it need to be installed?
