On my RaQ2, root was already aliased to admin, with this line in the 
etc/aliases file:

  root: admin

So I added this line to my /etc/aliases.local file (you dohave an 
/etc/aliases.local file, don't you?):

  admin:        myaddress@xxxxxxxxxxxx

And now I get all my root and admin mail in my local mailbox at home (which 
I'v got set to download every five minutes through my DSL line.

If you don't know how to do an /etc/aliases.local file check the archives, 
I've explained this before; basically it requires a line to be added to the 
/etc/sendmail.cf file; I added mine right after the line for the 
/etc/aliases.majordomo file, and I followed the same format.
