Re: login issues

[M <maujkar@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a laptop installation and it figured most of thre drivers , fedora core 5. it boots fine and then comes to this localhost login screen, where i used root and gave pwd and then goes to root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it.. i did the telinit 5 and its say switching to runlevel 5.

 

some one replied saying i need to make another directory/username than root to get int?? i made a directory but still it insists on local host login?

 

thanks for your help

I assume that you put in the password if you have that prompt.  Now you're logged in.

 

What kind of install did you do?  Did you do a workstation, server, custom???  Do you know if you have X-Windows installed?

 

Try typing 'telinit 5' and see if you get a graphical screen (assuming your video card and monitor are configured).

:b!

Login as 'root' for the username and use whatever password you typed in during installation.
