On a web site, I noticed that when installing CentOS 5.4 (not the 4.8 I installed), it asked to enter the password for the root.
However, I need to install CentOS 4.8, not the 5.4. During the installation of 4.8, it would not let me enter root for the username. So I could not create root username at that time, and I only had a non-privileged regular username. Thanks, Jerry On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 12:52 PM, Y. K.
