OK, I did something ... less than brilliant. I set up Mandrake on a Compaq laptop. Everything's working fine. However, I have recently (like, Thursday?) realized that I've forgotten the root password. This is not currently a high-priority problem, but will become more so as time goes on. It boots from CD-ROM very nicely - any recommendations for fixing this? IIRC, I turned on shadow passwords - I assume I could boot from removeable media, go in and delete the password from /etc/shadow, reboot, log in as root, and change the password? -- Scott Raun sraun at fireopal.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
