Hi:
I am a new Linux (Mandrake 9.2) user, switched from OS/2 Warp4,
because it is now very hard to find OS/2 drivers for the newer hardware.
Consequently, I have a lot to learn. So for this reason I'd like to join the
CLUG and hope to come to the next meeting. I am using and programming
computers since 1970.
Right now my immediate problem #1. is that I lost or misspelled the
root password. My question is: do I have to reinstall again and to what
degree to create a new password or is there a way to recover the current
one? (I have /usr, /var, /home, /tmp partitions beside the root and swap).
#2.: I have or will have a DOS and an OS/2 partition. When installing
LINUX I didn't have a chance to poin to those partitions in LILO. Is there a
way to include them later? Shall I rather use Boot magic for boot manager?
#3: My Mandrake Linux won't recognize th HP5P network printer
connected to a D-Link router. Do I need to find a ner driver?
Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Joseph.
