1. I use netinst CD to Install "etch" on my PC (Intelx86 - CPU is AMD duron
800MHz) with the following boot parameters:
expert modules=ppp-udeb
2. The language for installation is zh_TW (Chinese traditional) and the
keyboard mapping is US.
3. During installation I choose to NOT set up root account and I choose to
install only packages for desktop, without any package for server.
It can complete installation even getting software packages from the mirror
site via pppoe network (ADSL).
BUT after I login my account, the first account on the system, I encountered
the following problems:
PROBLEM 1:
I can't use network. It seems thet the pppoe doesn't start.
I open an Xterm and type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, system respons "Network not
available."
PROBLEM 2:
I press the "software update" button at the right-up coner on the screen, the
system prompts to enter administrative password.
BUT, during installating the system, it never prompts any messages for setting
up administrative password or password for root. (I choose using sudo instead
of root account)
I don't know what is the administrative password. I tried my password, empty,
blank space, but all are failed.
Sincerely Yours,
Huang, Kuan-Chung
