    localhost login default?

    I just installed Blag on a compaq 128mb, amd athlon 900. somehow I skipped the setup part and it goes straight to login. Is there a default login to allow me to go in so I can set this up?

    Hi and Welcome !

    Boot up in Single User or Recovery Mode and execute passwd command. Assign new root password. passwd command wont ask for earlier root password. Reboot machine and login as username root.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Thanks a lot, but how do I boot up in single user or recovery?

    Which Boot Loader did you install? GRUB or Lilo?

    It was all on one disc. I don't know the names of any of the separate files.

    Does list of booting options appear at startup? Is there any recovery option?
    In case machine boots up Blag with listing any option at startup, hit Esc key when you switch on machine. Does list appear?
