*Well*...I'm sitting here, looking at my theoretically brand-new SUSE 9.3 Pro installation's login screen, and although I'm by no means an inexperienced linux user, I have absolutely no idea what to do.
I did a rather large-ish install, necessitating all 5 CDs. Towards the middle of the last CD it started having md5sum errors, to which I just clicked 'ignore' as they were for things such as obscure adaptations for Java, info pages for said obscure adaptations and the like. It hung for awhile while installing terminus-font-4.11, and I assumed that it was having the same md5sum problems there too. It said there were still 120ish packages to go.
However, all of a sudden I got a dialog saying "Some things could not be installed" [and a list of them], I clicked OK, and the system exited the installer! It brought up this admittedly pretty login screen, but since in doing so the system decided that skipping such steps as network configuration, root password and user creation was a perfectly sane thing to do, I have no users, no root password and pretty much nothing.
Is there anything that I can do here? Is there a default root password hidden away somewhere that I could use? Or do I need to go through this multi-hour installation again...
Thanks!
EDIT: I should add that I tried the recovery console provided by the first CD, and can find no 'useradd' or 'adduser' (or anything containing the phrase 'user' except ifuser) in /bin or /sbin.
