Can't use? Or can't find? In general there is no difference
between logging in as root and su'ing to root. But if you use
only 'su' you don't get root's environment; when you type yup,
fdisk, pdisk, etc., the result is 'command not found'. To get
around this, you can either use 'su -', which will give you
root's environment, or you can prepend the path to the command
you are trying to run (e.g. /usr/sbin/yup, /sbin/pdisk). The
former is probably the best choice; doing both is even better
if in a paranoid mood ;)
