You better read some prior posts in the thread 'newbie to linux'. Same question + advisory not to use Devil-Linux as your first distro if you're a newbie :) Btw: the login is 'root' with no password. Change with the 'passwd' program.

The password of course should be changed ASAP via "passwd" and then you should do a save-config. Tim |

After you login use the passwd command to set a password for root.

Set the password, configure your network cards, etc. and remember to SAVE the setup to floppy, then reboot. - BS |
