root is covered in the FAQ:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/faq.html#root

Also, you have from the main menu:
Xshells->Root Access

Also, you don't need to have a burner to boot from the latest version of DSL.
If you can download the latest version to a hard drive, just the iso, then boot from 0.8.0 with the command bootfrom

Say for example you downloaded 0.8.3 to /dev/hda1
Then upon booting your current cd do this:

boot: dsl bootfrom=/dev/hda1/dsl-0.8.3.iso

Ok ok, Is it possible to boot a knoppix ISO with the command you gave me ?

Because to install my high speed connection, I need a knoppix distro ..

Thx for replies

bye
