Hi,
I have just completed the install of Fedora, but chose not to enter a user name and password for login, by leaving this section blank during setup. How come then that I am being asked for this when Linux boots. I don't have this info, so how can I log in? Is there any way to correct this?

Thanks,
Tim

If you didn't create a user, you'll have to login as user "root" with the root password. If you left it blank, just hit enter.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried this and it didnt work either - any ideas?
Also, I'm using dual boot. During the install I set the Windows boot to hda (0,0) instead of hda (0,1). On the dual boot screen I changed this to 0,1 using the 'e' key to edit the changes and hit enter to save the changes. When I reboot , however, the changes are not stored. I'm a bit lost about this.

Any help would be great,
thanks,
tim

Editing on the boot screen won't save any changes, its kinda immediate rescue mode. To make it permanent you have to edit '/boot/grub/grub.conf' using any normal editor. You can do this by editing the fedora option by using the same 'e' key and adding a '1' to the line at the end. This will log you into root user mode. Then you can use to enter edit mode and make the changes. Advisably it's always a good practice to work as a general user rather than root. You can create users here using 'adduser' command. Doing a will give all the details. Once a user is created you can log in using X. After all editing reboot and login using the newly created user.

Hope this help
Cheers

You can't run a Linux/Unix system without setting up some users. If you don't then you will always have to use the root account which is not really recommended. You can use the useradd or adduser commands whilst logged in as root to create new users.
