Did you get the x windows login or just the terminal prompt? There are two user accounts root,root demo,demo
When it first boots pick the top option as that works most of the time other wise slowly work your way down the list trying the other options. Watch out for the version of partioning software on the disk qtpart - it edits the partions but fails to update ntfs to reflect the changed partion. The result is windozes still thinks it has the same size partion which can cause corruption and confussion. I have proved this today by increasing the size of a windozes partion from 10gb to 20gb. All the partion tools show it as 20gb including the windozes tools but windozes also shows the formated file system is still only 10gb Maurice -----Original Message----- From: Alan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 11 August 2006 10:42 p.m. To: Linux Group Subject: re:Real Nwebie Had another play with the Mepis Disk this evening, and made VERY slight progress.
