For a "normal" installation root's home directory is /root

and change to root's home directory.
ja@naxos ~ 1$ su -
Password:
[root@naxos:~]$ pwd
/root
[root@naxos:~]$
For the occasions when it is desirable NOT to cd /root
I have an alias in /root/.bashrc
alias sbp='source ~/.bash_profile'
ja@naxos ~ 2$ pwd
/home/ja
ja@naxos ~ 3$ su
Password:
root@naxos ja 1001$ pwd
/home/ja
root@naxos ja 1002$ sbp
[root@naxos:/home/ja]$ pwd
/home/ja
/root/.bash_profile
changes the colour of the prompt (among other things)
PS1="\[\033[1;31m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] "
There must be much better ways of doing this!
