Hello: I just installed potato via the floppy+ftp method.
For some odd reason, I cannot "su" to root as a normal user, it always says I have the wrong password. But I can switch to a different virtual terminal and login as root with the same password, no problem. Also, as a user I tried to change my shell with "chsh" and when it behaves the same as su, i.e. it always says wrong password for my username. I can login with this password just fine, though. I tried both commands several times slowly, so I cannot be typing two different passwords incorrectly. Any hints? Thanks, Matt
