So, I made partitions to my hdd, I installed the slack 10.2 and on start LILO starts up and I've the choice of which OS to use (win/slack).
I choose Slack and it loads , some textures show on screen and at the end I get a line to Log In.

what am I supposed to write there ? coz if I write anything, it says I have to write a password, I try to write any pass, but it doesn't even Let me write on the password field. please help

If you set up a user log in with that user;
then enter the password for that user;
YOU will not see it as you type;
Or log in as root
same thing enter the password and press enter;
You will not see anything as you type the password;
Have Fun

well .. I haven't put any pass for my root.
and how am I supposed to set up an user ?

the line is like :
Ongeboren log in :

i fill in : Ongeboren log in : random_name
: password : somepass

and it says me .. wrong password or somethin like that duh ;(

should I format my linux drives and reinstall at all the slack ?

No there is no need to re-install, too common of a solution. First, try and recall if you set absolutely any password during the install. If you did, that would be your root password. Type root for the user, and then type the password. I know it seems odd that you cannot see it, but it is a very nice security feature for "shoulder jackers" . If no password was set, (which would be rather awesome) maybe just type root and put in no password. When you get in, make sure that you run the "adduser" command and fill the appropriate info in. When that is done, log out, and log back in with the user you created. Try and refrain from logging in the system as root. It sounds like you might need to know how to change that root password of yours, (or create one :-S) when you get logged in. Type "su" when you are logged in under a normal user and then type "passwd", or (bleh) log into the system as root and run the "passwd" command.

Happy Slackin,

damn I'm afraid then that I've set a pswd then omg.. coz I tried to put one and I didn't see anything(and as u said, invisibility is just a secure tool) and then just hit enter .. damn I'll have to reinstall it at all. and thanks for the info bout adding users, i'll try doin it as fast as I can run my slack at least

Like I said before, re-installing isn't needed as much as people think it is for problems like this. What are you trying for the user?

okay, I somewho entered and added new user with pass.
and then I come to screen like :

Linux 2.4.31
no mail.
my_usernamz@myRootname : ~$


what should I do here .. ?

Now see if you can become root. I hope you remembered your root password;
What Happens?

those commands didn't work..
but however the StartX command DID work and my linux finally started.

but I've got no i-net.. u got a link for Adsl net configurating.. ? it says LISa server is not found, where can I get one ?

and also an error that it gives me , is somethin about the sound device.. maybe just a driver that I'll have to download as fast as I config my inet

Try as root
dhcpcd eth0
ping www.google.com -c 3
what happens?

for dhcpcd eth0 it says that it does not recognize that command
and for the ping thing it says "google.com unknown host".
anyway, thanks for your help buddy,I might reinstall all tomorrow and begin all @ clean

I don't think you are doing the commands as root.

In my experience that should be enough for you. The startx command always works for me right out of the box, and then I run
to select which window manager/DE that I would like to use.
