Hello William - please reply to the list, not individuals. You may get
more replies that way!
Thank you for your response. I installed Debian without the Ethernet card
been detected. Yes, I have the 2 dvd's.
My problem now is after installing Debian for the first time, I was asked to
write a user name, a user account name, login name and password. When I boot
the system, I am ask to login. I typed what I think is the login name and
password I registered with, but I get an "invalid" response. I am unable to
login. It is very frustrated because I don't know what to do next. I login
those user names I always use, and I only have one(1) password I used every
time.
Can you tell me how to bypass login name and password to enter Debian.
Thank you very much.
During install, you must enter a password for user root - the superuser
or administrator.
You must also enter the name and password of a normal user. This is the
one you should use to log in with. If you need superuser (root)
privileges for admin tasks you can switch user temporarily using the
command su. You will need to enter the root password here. You should
not actually log in as user root if you can help it, because root has
complete access to the whole system, so it is wide open to inadvertant
or malicious damage.
There is some background to this at
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Debian_basic_features
So, you have two users: root and the user you created during
installation. They each have a password that you created during
installation. Try them both and check that you can log in and out. Then
, just stick to the normal user.
Chris.
