Installing Fedora 12

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I’ve downloaded the Fedora 12 desktop edition and I’ve installed it now three times on a U2 server of ours. Every time after the reboot of the newly installed system, I get the login screen. The first time when I installed, I used a password that I always use as a default, at least I thought, I wasn’t 100% sure. I typed in “root” with out the quotes and type in the default password that I always use. “Authentication Failed” and doesn’t log on.

 

Okay, another 6 hours of installation, this time I write down the password that I typed in for root. Another reboot without the live CD to the clean install, and I get the login screen. I type “root” and the written down password. Same thing “Authentication Failed”.

 

That night I start another 6 hours of a clean install and this time I use the word “password” for the requested password. I know that I can not mess that up.

 

The next day I come in to a clean install from the Live CD and I get the login screen. I type “root” and “password”. “Authentication Failed”….

 

If I wanted an operating system that all it does is display “Authentication Failed”, I’d be in business. I was hoping it would do more than that.

 

What am I doing wrong?
