That's fine......though why you are getting that message is interesting
in itself. I've not seen it. :-)  

To get supervisor privilege, just login with the "root" and the password
you set for root at the install......and you will have set that
password, whether you rmember it or not. :-)  

This is the same as in Windows XP "Administrator". 

Xandros networks should ask you for the root / supervisor password when
you try to install / remove any packages. 

All Linux / Unix / BSD system have a "root" userid that is the "god" of
the system. It can do anything. Not a good idea to use this for everyday
use......but reserved for doing specific tasks like the one you need to
do now. 

dpkg --configure -a
