Slackware 8.0 Help Needed!!! Fast!!!
 

Ok, so I installed finally Slackware as so many have praised it.
Well, installation was easy, but now I booted up my new, "fabulous" OS and it comes and asks:
Darkstar login:

So this is how it looks after a while:
Now whatta hell? My password is "gandalf" ffs, and I have no other users yet than root!!!
What is wrong???

I don't know much about slackware, but if you have the lilo bootloader, at the lilo: prompt, type
linux init=/bin/bash rw

then "passwd" and change your password to "foobaronme" or something that you can remember. then it should work. I don't know how to pass options to the kernel with grub, but the option you want to pass is "init=/bin/bash rw"

hope this helps

for christs sake I'm one dumbass.
 

Ok, I got it. It was GANDALF, not gandalf.

Just forgot, for a while, that in Linux size does matter, unlike in DOS.

Damn you T1000SE...

Ok now, but how I create new users. I'm afraid of moving around as root.

In Mandrake, I just opened one file as root and BANG!!! X didn't work no more... :)

useradd

and if you need help with that...
man useradd
