Since when I go to yast, it says me to enter the root password and I only enter the password of this created user (with which I log-in too) and yast works, so by default that is the password of root also? Or different (since I didn't set the root password and it is accepting that password..!). Or could root password be set separately..? You normally will have a plain user and root, and typically both have the same password. Typically? Well, they're only the same if you make them the same. Well, I guess the passwords of the superuser ('root') and this created 'user' (during installation) is same until I manually change the root password but the two users are, of course, different. I guess it is like this....? I just see how to change the root password.

I think, Linux Tyro, you should make up your mind which distro you are going to get used to to begin with. It seems you are asking the same questions in Ubuntu mail list as well as here. If you run after two hares you won't catch either. BC -- The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
