Hello all,
I did'nt find my problem elsewhere so here goes...
Berry Linux 0.85 stands on Fedora 7 (I believe)
I can't get it loose past security. It has an odd file setup.
1) No autologin
2) No user kppp
I set these up as online ref. declared, but no joy. It ignores all users.
I ran it cli and the results follows. As you can see, this is a good connect as root.


[root@berry ~]# kppp
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received OpenLock

Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
In parent: pppd pid 4264
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.
Opener: received OpenResolv
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received RemoveSecret

As user it complains about not opening X server.

Looks more like the limitations of a Live CD or unfinished product to me, so I'll move it to the Fedora forum since it's somewhat related. Please note Berry Linux 0.88 was released in Februari of this year. It may or may not fix problems. Also note on the english Berry Linux homepage the developer says "If you use this software and it doesn't work, please send an e-mail to Yuichiro Nakada with a description of the bug."


And you shouldn't need it either.


Could add that yourself (see 'man adduser').


It's a bootable CD. Most of those only use one user I think (not that I've noticed though so I could be wrong).


Is it? I can't tell..


It's usually best to post exact error messages. it is easier for people to help with those.


I'd say talk to Yuichiro Nakada. Or else why not switch to Fedora instead?

Thanks for the suggestions,
You are correct in thinking the behavior was as a live CD. My machine would recycle all input upon reboot. The distro has pam and selinux in a config that I still can't understand. Fedora 7 current sudo would not install for dep. vim-minimal > conflict with busybox. I kept trying and did install a sudo my pam_auth says is for RH 9, but it works great. The key to getting normal is your other suggestion of group > usermod > etc. I did /etc/sudoers and gave all to wheel then corrected my user groups. As you would know, pam didn't like it. Just in passing let me say that this distro has some severe hard work in it. Once you peruse through it, I have to say it is a quality item. So wheel, sudo, wvdial and gnome-ppp worked for me.

Thanks again!

If it does, then maybe you should contact the developer anyway and present your fixes (I don't see they got a Wiki?). I'm sure other users would love to see people use it and knowing what is b0rken can be (easily?) fixed. Have fun with it!
