Hi Greg, I had the same problem and found that a run of scandisk on the drive under windows caused the problem. You must delete the /linux directory and re-install it from the zip file. You will then be able to log in as root. -Matt -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Gregory Nowak Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2000 12:09 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: help with login please Hello Everyone, I'm new to this list and to linux. I unzipped the entire zipspeak zip file onto a zipdisk in an IDE zipdrive . I boot my system from a disk with win98 system files on it and run linux.bat from there. Everything works fine until I get to the "(none) login:" line. I type "root" and hit enter. Linux pauses for a second or 2 and the zipdisk spins. Then it comes back with the welcome message which ends with the same login line. Am I doing something wrong? What do I do to login? I'm using the doubletalk pc kernel. Also, I hear that there is a command key that will help one use linux if one knows DOS. Where do I obtain a copy of this command key? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
