Gentoo - (didn't add a user when i installed)
Hello,
I recently installed gentoo following the handbook at www.gentoo.org. However i failed to add a user before i reboot my system. I try to login as root on gentoo but it fails. How can I add a user so i can login? Thanks. PS. I know Gentoo is a bit harder, but i learn from trial and error. :) |
When you boot, you have to interrupt the boot process by pressing any key when grub shows a countdown. Hit a to edit the kernel options and add a space then 1 to the end of the line. Then hit return to continue booting. This will give you a root login where you can use adduser to create a normal user.
Code:
adduser <username> Code:
telinit 5 The 1 you added to the kernel options only takes effect on that boot, it is not there the next time. |
