mandrake 10.0 problem with root


What did I do wrong. I loaded mandrake 10.0 but in the login, I cannot logon as root. I tried reinstalling it and made sure there was not a default user selected and had the same problem. I wanted to add a website and get apache going and was told I did not have permission.

How are you supposed to use this as root?

hmm, it seems after doing the aforementioned two fixes long ago, my cable connection has been much faster, but since first reboot it seemed it was not as fast as when I first made changes. It was still as fast as neighbours that use WindowsXP, but not as fast as when I load Knoppix. Knoppix seems to load web pages without a second hesitation.

I just checked my loaded modules with lsmod and found ipv6 module was still being loaded.
To stop it from being loaded automatically upon rebooting, open a terminal window, type
su
for root privilage, then type
echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
That should be effective long term.
