Where am I loging from? The shell -- I thinks. on startup I loged in as root (and messed up the password), then exited (the exit command), then tried to log in again as user by using the user name I created during the installation process. I tried to use the base-config command to reset the user name and passwords, and it just kicks me back to the config window from which I could only choose the "finished configuration" option. One more question; is w3m browser accessible with speakup at all? At least in my class I couldn't open one single link. It's Debian 2.6.17 box. Many thanks in advance!
