Thanks all. I tend to think that whatever the problem is, it has to do with this old beater computer I'm experimenting with. FYI, the error that I get when trying to install in the first place, is something like 'cannot start YAST gui, less than 96mb available, then it goes to the text install mode. The drive has 80gb or more, the computer has 512mb ram, and I tried various settings for the AGP aperature in the event that had anything to do with it, currently set to 256mb... Joel Sloan wrote:

Better now:
booted in single user mode
set root password
rebooted
This time it took "root" as the login, and I was able to log in. No gui though, just one full text screen. Is there a way to launch gui from here?
Hmm, I hesitate to continue on this track since the install was not successfully completed. But since (IIRC) it was unable to launch a GUI during the install, there would be no GUI configured. Something has gone very wrong, and rather than continue down this path, it's probably a good idea to back up and find out what went wrong.
