Well, I've got it running--haven't had time to explore it (it's 0312 hours here and time for bed :-) ). BUT...it's looking GOOD! Love the new way apps etc are selected :-) . However, what have I missed during the installation? Why am I logged in as root and not as an ordinary user? (This is the same with kubuntu which I installed a few days ago.) Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.

Say what? Getting logged in as root in any of the -buntus usually requires you to do an end run around their goofie SUDO system. They don't even allow root logins. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Not by default, but all it takes to fix that is 'sudu passwd root'. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped." Psalm 28:7 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 Felix Miata *** http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/

Like I said, an end run. Its the first thing I do after the system is set up. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Well, I installed the 6.10 RC 3-4 days ago and was most disturbed to find that I was logged on only as root. I wasn't even given the chance to create a user during the installation. It is quite possible that something went wrong during the installation and some installation sections were skipped. In fact this is exactly what happened when I installed SUSE 10.2 Beta 1 in the early hours of this morning but when I reinstalled it a short while ago all the skipped bits were not skipped this 'round and I am now logged on a normal user.

No. There is a very specific set of 'steps' in place now when installing and these were definitely not there last night. Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.

What most likely went wrong is your sysadmin clicked the "next" button instead of creating your user account.. that's what happens when you force your sysadmin to work long hours, into the wee hours of the morning. ;-)

No, happened again last "night" when I was reinstalling 10.2 beta (6th attempt I think). I'll see what happens when I try again shortly (because that attempt to correctly install 10.2 beta failed)--seems that the zmd crap still may not be fixed--dunno-- because this is where the whole thing collapsed. I want to see what happens to Clayton (and anyone else of course) when he tries to install this weekend. Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.

I haven't tried the Beta yet. But this "maybe" the problem. You must have forgotten to create a normal user. As such, SuSE usually asks to create a new user during the process of installation, which I think is not mandatory. You might have simply bypassed it...and resulting into direct login as root. Or ...maybe you have created a user, but simply configured YaST to directly log you in as root! Just random thoughts. ;-) --

I've installed Suse enough times to accidentally miss something like this :-) . No, the install last "night" did not give me that opportunity--including setting up the video, tv card etc. The whole section was skipped. I reinstalled it a short time ago and this 'round nothing was missed and I am now logged on as a normal user. Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.

The geecko is on the desktop. This one, when the installation screen comes up, is a "gecko" :-) . Actually, I must have a *close* look at it the next time because I suspect that it may be a rubber fake photographed specially for the opening screen. Something looks a bit 'fake' about it--but I may be wrong. Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.
