	  Some actions, such as updating the package lists, can only
	  be performed as <code class="systemitem">root</code>.  If you are not <code class="systemitem">root</code> and you try
	  to update the package lists, <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> will ask if you want
	  to become <code class="systemitem">root</code>:

	  If you select <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Become root</span>”</span>, <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> will prompt you for
	  <code class="systemitem">root</code>'s password; when you have correctly entered it,
	  <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> will perform the action that required <code class="systemitem">root</code>
	  privileges.  You will still be <code class="systemitem">root</code> after the action
	  completes.
	</p><p>
	  You can switch to the <code class="systemitem">root</code> account at any time using the
	  command <span class="guimenu">Actions</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Become root</span>.  Any changes you have made to package
	  states will be preserved (but will not be saved until you
	  quit <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>).
	</p><p>
	  By default, <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> will use the command
	  <code class="systemitem">su</code> to gain <code class="systemitem">root</code> privileges.  If you
	  would like it to use some other command (such as
	  <code class="systemitem">sudo</code>), set the configuration option
