it ALWAYS tells me that the authentication failed.
I did the install very, very carefully as I thought that, maybe, I had
goofed; but, no, I set up root password OK but still cannot do the login
as root.
The only way I can get to root operations is via sudo but, then, I can't
get a gui running (I'm a bit lazy!!).
Any ideas as to why I can't log in as root?

You may want to do a search of the list. This has been covered
several times. By default, root can not log into the GUI.
Besides using sudo, you can also run su - to change to the root
user. You will have to give the root password.
