I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (ISO downloaded an hour ago) and I was not asked to create a Root password during installation. What's going on?

I am sure the last time I installed this, it asked me to create a Root password.

How do I do this retrospectively?
 
Ubuntu has never had the root account enabled by default. Instead of creating one, simply preface commands you want to run as root with sudo and use your own user password.
