Subject: A few quick newbie questions...
Using a 200GIG WD harddrive and VIA EPIA M10000 mini-ITX motherboard with 512 megs of RAM....
#1 - I do the install, no problems as far as I can tell, then it has to do a reboot. It gets to where it is then asking for a "username" in the middle of the screen. I don't have a username. At some point during the install it forces me to put in an admin name or something, but that user/pass doesn't work. Is there a way during the install to tell it "hey, no freaking user/pass on this computer"?
Try the user name root, and whatever password you put in when you were prompted during installation.
#2 - Want to do a dual boot between XP and Linux. Do I partition the harddrive first, then install XP, then install Linux?
That is the recommended method.
This is all new ground to me (Linux and dual booting). While I'm not a computer dunce, these two "issues" has me stumped. Please use small words and pretty pictures.
You should really peruse the docs at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/, especially the Step By Step guide.
