You should never really need to log in as root directly, but rather as a regular user, and then use "su" (switch user) to become root only when necessary (the command to do so is "su -" (the - is important). You'll need to supply the password you were asked to set during installation. After first boot, you were told to set up a regular user account, at which point you would have indeed been asked for a user name and password. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
