Did you really mean that you installed 5.1? Probably should strongly
consider upgrading to 6.1 or wait a bit and go straight to 6.2.
Anyway,
Enter root as login name then you should enter the password that you
gave the installation program. Remember you are now on a multi-user
operating system.
First thing you should do is to add a user so you don't have to risk
screwing something up as root. Root is god and *nixws assume god knows
what he is doing and will let him totally fry a system :) I dont
remember if 5.1 has a gui user tool or not. If you can get into X
(startx) try the control-panel. From the shell prompt you can enter
adduser username (subsituting username for what ever you want to call
yourself. then enter
passwd username
and follow the prompts to enter a password for the new user.
Remeber Linux is case sensitive.
Hope this get you going.
