    Installation of Fedora 12 problem

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Fedora 12 on a 3 year old Dell Demension 1100. It only has a CD reader so I bought a 5 CD set and proceeded to install. Everything works fine until the end of the initial part of the installation where it asks to reboot the computer, the program says it has installed correctly. On rebooting the command line appears and asks for localhost log in. Problem is during the installation the program didn't ask for a user name only a root password. I am unable to access this and there are still another 4 CD's to go.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
    Rick

    Hello, and welcome to the forums!

    Are you sure you didn't miss any steps during the installation?

    It's been many years since I last installed Fedora, but here's an installation guide that might help:

    Hopefully, some of the others here will chime in with some suggestions for you.

    I agree, if you only used one CD, then something must not be right, I would suggest that you attempt to re-install. Look at it as a learning process.
